Faith, family and food are at the heart of the Easter dinner Kelowna’s Gospel Mission will serve on Saturday, April 20th from noon until 6 p.m. at 251 Leon Ave. The meal is free to anyone in the community.
This Easter Kelowna’s Gospel Mission will serve not only the people that temporarily live in the 90 bed shelter, but also individuals and families who are in need because of low income. Everyone will be able to enjoy a traditional Easter meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and all the fixings followed by pie which was generously donated by the Bernard Street Safeway.
Kelowna’s Gospel Mission has an amazing team of regular community volunteers and are pleased to have MLA Norm Letnick, MLA Steve Thomson, Kelowna city councillors Mohini Singh and Maxine DeHart, who are part of their volunteer team and will be serving the meals to their guests.
Randy Benson, Executive Director of Kelowna’s Gospel Mission, spoke about the meal,
“I am constantly encouraged by the generosity of our donors. As well as providing the Easter meals, they write notes of encouragement on place-mats that will brighten up the tables. I love seeing the impact of Easter played out daily in the lives of those we serve. What better way is there to celebrate the resurrection of Christ than to share his love with others?”
