The Gospel Mission in Kelowna is set to hold their Easter dinner this weekend.
They will not only serve the people that temporarily live in the 90 bed shelter, but also individuals and families who are in need because of low income.
Everyone will be able to enjoy a traditional Easter meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and all the fixings followed by pie which was donated by the Bernard Street Safeway.
“I am constantly encouraged by the generosity of our donors. As well as providing the Easter meals, they write notes of encouragement on place-mats that will brighten up the tables,” says Randy Benson, executive director of the Gospel Mission.
“I love seeing the impact of Easter played out daily in the lives of those we serve. What better way is there to celebrate the resurrection of Christ than to share his love with others?”
This year, the dedicated group of volunteers who put the feast together will be joined by MLA Norm Letnick, MLA Steve Thomson, and Kelowna city councillors Mohini Singh and Maxine DeHart.
The dinner will be served from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the 251 Leon Avenue. The meal is free to anyone in the community.
To donate, sign up to volunteer, or to give an in-kind gift, contact them through their website or call them at (250) 763-3737.
