Ottawa Fury FC and Ottawa Redblacks Serve Over 350 Meals in Ottawa!

Today was a really exciting day in our soup kitchen at 233 Murray St!  Members of the Ottawa Fury FC, Ottawa Redblacks and the Ottawa Redblacks Cheer Team arrived to help out during lunch.  First we took them over to the shelter where shelter staff explained the programs as well as the need for these programs in the city.

After the tour we went back to the soup kitchen and everyone put on their aprons to help serve over 350 meals to the community!

From the Ottawa Fury FC, we had Drew Beckie, Marcel De Bellis, Omar Jarun, Ramon Soria Alonso and Devela Gorrick.  From the Ottawa Redblacks there was Jon Gott, Zack Evans, Moton Hopkins and Chevon Walker.  Also there to help were cheerleaders Claudia, Tania, Jenny and Mikayla.

The clients were very excited to see the celebrities coming down to help them out. 
Mark Legault lives at Shepherds of Good Hope, "It's pretty amazing, because we watch them on TV in the corner there at night or in the afternoon and to see them actually here is just like, wow! It's a nice treat," he said. "We encourage them on TV and now they're encouraging us. It's pretty cool."

That's not the only amazing thing these athletes are doing for Shepherds of Good Hope and their community.  On August 15th and 17th anyone who buys tickets to the REDBLACKS or Fury game with this order form will have a percentage of their ticket price donated to Shepherds of Good Hope. So now you can come show your support for both your team and your community, it’s a win-win!
