2013 Grinch Dinner

The Grinch Dinner is a very important annual fundraising event for the Shepherds of Good Hope Foundation. The funds are used to care for the many in our community requiring food, shelter and emergency services and ensures that no one is ever turned away.

Ron Eade was a guest at this year's event and I hope you read his blog post about his experience!

Sandwichathon!

Our Senior Manager of Support Services, Lindy, went out to St. Joseph's Catholic High School today where they were having a Sandwichathon!  All the kids got together to make 1500 sandwiches this morning!

 

Truly awesome!

Jack and the Fairy Dogmother

Tammie Winsor will be at the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library at the Apt613 book sale on Saturday, November 23, from 11:00 to 4:00 selling her book “Jack and the Fairy Dogmother”.

 

This book became a reality as a result of the 2012 CBC Hopes and Dreams campaign. The book sells for $12.00 and $2.00 from every book sold at the event will go towards the 2013 Shepherds of Good Hope CBC Hopes and Dreams campaign.

Congratulations Tammie!

Kailey's Scarves for the Homeless

On Monday, November 11, Kailey stopped by with a box of scarves that she knit for the homeless.

What a fantastic gift to give to someone just as the weather is getting very chilly!

Thank you, Kailey!

Celebrating with Shepherds of Good Hope

On Sunday, November 10, Linda Kerzner and her family joined our kitchen staff to serve a special meal to our clients in honour of her birthday.

Hundreds of clients that stay in our homeless shelter at 256 King Edward were treated to a delicious chicken dinner with chocolate cake.  For her birthday, Linda wanted to help out the hungry people in her own community.  What a lovely gift to those in need!

Happy Halloween!

Last night we had a spooky good time at Shepherds of Good Hope!

I spent the evening with my friends, Linda and Steven Kerzner, handing out delicious treats to all!  We made sure to stop by 233 Murray Street where our Evening Drop-in is located to pass out candy to all that were there.  Our evening drop in is open to anyone that wants to join us for a hot meal and friendly faces to spend some time with.

We also made a scary stop on over to 256 King Edward to hand out treats to all of the men and women that stay in our shelters.  It was a great time and they all loved our costumes.  Happy Halloween to all!
