Help St. Felix Centre Feed the Poor...St. Felix Centre

When people are treated with dignity and care they are transformed. And one of the most powerful forms of caring for someone is to cook & serve them a meal. It evokes a memory of the best of childhoods and meets the longing inside every one of us to be loved. At the evening meal, homeless men & women interact with local families, eating & laughing together, getting to know each other by name, and learning to feel like members of a community. 15 children even come by themselves because there is no food at home. Recently one of these children started to play cards regularly with a particularly distant elderly homeless man. This is the magic of St. Felix. Supper is prepared and served by volunteers who largely come from the same community and really want to make a difference. It really is amazing what you can do just helping one person at a time. This application is for a grant so that the Evening Meal Program can continue to make that difference.
