Outreach

Members from All Saints regularly support sandwich lunches served at Royal City Mission in downtown Guelph.  Each Christmas the ‘Mary Guse Giving Tree’ supports the “Christmas Bureau” in Guelph by collecting gifts for children (for the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program) and also items for Women in Crisis, Michael House and Adopt a Family. We also fill gift bags for the Chalmers Community Services Christmas Gift Bag campaign. 

The Silvercreek Community Market is a free fresh food market that runs from 1:30-2:30 p.m. (or until all the food is gone) on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. for registration and the distribution begins at 2 pm. The Market’s goal is to help local families and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity by providing fresh nutritious fruits and vegetables. COBS Bread partners with us to provide fresh baked goods to our guests. Please being your own bags. Doors are located at the back of the building. Registration for new guests happens after registered families have checked in.  You may need to be added to a waiting list for a month or two but there will be food for you. Everyone is welcome at the Market! 

The Children’s Reading Room is located in our building. Their focus is building literacy for families and offers free quality children’s books (for children to take home and keep) at each visit. Geared to children ages birth to 12 years. Open for drop-in family programs every Wednesday from 9:30 am- 3:00 pm, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 – 5:00 pm.
