Encore...the Concert Band

 

What an afternoon!  On December 13, 2009 Bill Brady hosted a hilariously entertaining concert to a packed house of wide-eyed guests who were treated to an enchanting performance by the band.  This annual event was capped off with a cheque presentation in the amount of $3110 which is the amount needed to buy 1000 meals for those staying in one of our shelters.  This gracious donation helps Mission Services of London get closer to its goal of raising 30,000 meals through the Scan Away Hunger campaign.

London CAReS

This is exciting news. A number of homeless organizations are participating in a new City of London initiative called London CAReS – the London Community Addiction Response Strategy. It is designed to find ways to alleviate the suffering of the homeless, many of whom experience an addiction or mental health concern, or both. One of three SAFE HAVEN locations is now open at the Gathering Place (457 York) from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m, Monday to Friday, to provide support for those individuals living on the street. As well, a MOBILE OUTREACH VAN staffed by Mission Services staff will be out on the street in the evening hours to help with emergent needs that do not require police or medical attention. We are so thankful for the leadership the City of London is showing in this area.
