St. Thomas’
The board of directors of the Walkerton and District Food Bank say THANK YOU to everyone for your support of the Food Bank. You are all special. THANK YOU for being the hands and feet of Our Lord. Each week the need is growing.
We thank all for the food and monetary gifts that you so generously donate. Our numbers continue to grow.
I read an article in the Anglican Journal of the Huron Church News the March 2025 edition that shared a true story of a family that are so thankful for all the support they received, and quoted numbers of what is happening today in our communities with support and how the numbers are growing.– And I quote from the article “These numbers are not just statistics: they are stories of survival of people who need a helping hand. They are stories of hope, of compassion in action. And they fuel our passion to continue, to expand.” SO we say Thank You to all of you for your support and caring concern.
Trial period: Starting Wed. April 9 the Foodbank will be open 6 pm - 7:30 pm
the second and fourth Wed. of the month
by appointment only.
This is intended for those unable to attend Thursdays due to work, medical appointments, babysitting issues.
