Monthly OutreachAlongside Hope - Gaza Relief https://alongsidehope.org/news/al-ahli-hospital-sustains-palm-sunday-air-strikes/ In June of last year, the Social Justice and Outreach Team brought the focus onto the Anglican Alliance of PWRDF, for their Gaza Appeal. Sadly, we are in June a year later and the need is even more pronounced…. Information below is taken from the website of Alongside Hope. ….” Alongside Hope, formerly PWRDF, continues to bring attention to the people of Gaza who suffer daily…where yet another attack occurred on the Al-Ahli Hospital. The attack comes after weeks of no medical aid or food being allowed into the besieged Gaza Strip.” “The Diocese of Jerusalem is appalled at the bombing of the hospital now for the fifth time since the beginning of the war in 2023 – and this time on the morning of Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. We call upon all governments and people of goodwill to intervene to stop all kinds of attacks on medical and humanitarian institutions. We pray and call for the end of this horrific war and the suffering of so many.” Please consider supporting Al-Ahli Hospital by giving to Alongside Hope’s West Bank/Gaza Appeal. Give online or by phone at 1-866-308-7973. Or you can mail a cheque to Alongside Hope, 80 Hayden Street, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada, M4Y 3G2. Please indicate “Gaza” in the memo field. During the month of June please join your Social Justice and Outreach Team [SJOT] by focusing your prayers and support for Alongside Hope, and in particular the Gaza Appeal. Alongside Hope is part of an Anglican Alliance with grass roots agencies, and they continue to serve the most vulnerable people of this World. Donations can be made as indicated above, through St George’s Tithel.y or with the blue Outreach envelopes. For more infomation visit:

Shelbourne Community Kitchen: Summer Send Off Food DriveJune 1-30, 2025 The Shelbourne Community Kitchen states: “Every summer, our organization sees an increase in families accessing our food support services, but this is also a time when supplies of non-perishable foods are at an all time low. As food costs continue to climb and as more people are seeking food support services, we are registering an average of 50 new participants every month.” St George’s Outreach Team thanks you for your generous and ongoing support, and asks that you please share this information with your wider community. Please remember that as always, the Outreach Team will continue to collect your non-perishable donations after the weekly Sunday Service and deliver them to the Kitchen. |
