Every second and last Friday of the month (except for July, August, September, & January) families and individuals can take home a nutritious and delicious home-cooked meal. There is no need to pre-register. Meals will be available while supplies last on a first come, first served basis. Cost is by donation: suggested $5 for an individual, $10 for a family, or $15 for community support (to help keep on serving low-income families as food prices increase).

We are serving our community meal on Mondays. We will be able to serve the first 80 people. There is a vegetarian and sometimes a meat option. We will unfortunately be unable to accommodate any other special or dietary requests.

Please bring your own takeout containers if you would like to take the meal to go. We will be eating outside whenever the weather permits, near the gym at the back of the Fernwood Community Centre.

Cost: by donation, no one turned away.
