Migrant Worker Welcome. Hello again Friends, Yes… many of you have been asking if everything is on board again this year.  The answer is yes, yes, yes.  As we all know without the help and enthusiasm of all of you, this outreach would never have gotten off the ground many years ago. Our date is Saturday June 17 at our small but mighty Kilbride Church.  Now is the time to start pleading with your family, friends and neighbours for men’s clothing, shoes, towels, blankets, bedding, pillows and suitcases. We save women’s and children’s items until the fall.  We always need bicycles, too. We are in search of a standalone basketball hoop that we could position in the backyard to be enjoyed by our migrant worker guests and  enjoyed by the community at other times.  We will once again set up our store on the Friday afternoon at 1pm. We are always open to new suggestions that you think would work well with our guests.  Let us know.  We have our entertainment set . Unfortunately, the young lady who entertained at the Soup Feast in Hamilton wasn’t available.  Maybe another time.  Always looking for new talent. Won’t it be wonderful if we can set up our tables in the backyard ?  I hope we are getting our summer’s worth of rain now so that the sun will shine and the clouds will clear for us on the 17^th of June. Blessings to you and all those you love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sharon

Migrant Worker Welcome. Hello again Friends, Yes… many of you have been asking if everything is on board again this year.  The answer is yes, yes, yes.  As we all know without the help and enthusiasm of all of you, this outreach would never have gotten off the ground many years ago. Our date is Saturday June 17 at our small but mighty Kilbride Church.  Now is the time to start pleading with your family, friends and neighbours for men’s clothing, shoes, towels, blankets, bedding, pillows and suitcases. We save women’s and children’s items until the fall.  We always need bicycles, too. We will once again set up our store on the Friday afternoon at 1pm.
