A Valentine's Day Celebration

Happy (Early) Valentine's Day!

Because Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday, we took the time out today to make a very special meal for our community!  Our friends at Fitzroy Beef Farmers donated enough delicious beef for us to cook over 400 roast beef meals for lunch!

Our wonderful kitchen staff and volunteers started preparing yesterday.

And today at lunch I came down to the kitchen to help our volunteers carve the roast.

And to top off this fantastic Valentine's Day meal, we handed out special chocolate treats to our clients.

Thank you very much to Fitzroy Beef Farmers, our staff and our volunteers for making this a special day for those in our care.  Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Shepherds of Good Hope!

14th Annual Hoteliers Have Heart

The Shepherds of Good Hope soup kitchen was bustling with activity when the Ottawa Gatineau Hoteliers made their annual visit to drop off 8500 pounds of food at 10:30 am for the 14^th year in a row on February 14^,  2014 - Valentine’s Day. There was so much food that another truck will be delivering $1100 worth of food again early next week

 

 

Each year on February 14th, representatives from the Hoteliers Association come to the Shepherds of Good Hope soup kitchen to help fill their pantry and serve lunch to the many hungry men and women coming through the doors.  Thank you Hoteliers!

Valentine's Day is Almost Here!

I would like to thank Deborah Lecci and her mother for stopping by our soup kitchen today to drop off trays of baking for Valentine's Day!  What a wonderful treat for those we serve!
