In addition to serving food to our guests, these two United Church of Canada congregations have also partnered with North Toronto Support Services, as one example, to insure that additional assistance is available to help our guests live as best they can in their trying circumstances. As Christians we believe that all people are called to serve those who have the least in this great society in which we all live. This is from Matthew 25: 31 – 46.
We are also aware that it was Winston Churchill who said that one measures the degree of civilization of a society by how it treats its weakest members.
