For 29 years, the church of St. John the Evangelist has been welcoming Londoners experiencing hunger to dinner every Saturday night without a break. In 2024, a Tuesday lunch and an outdoor pantry were added to address the ever increasing food security needs in London. In the last six months we have started a new program supporting food insecurity at Beal Secondary School. We look forward to continuing this support in the next year.
This is the primary, but not the only way that our church community reaches out to those in need. The funds raised from our event will go directly to supporting our Meal Programs. With the increased cost of food and supplies, the success of this event has never been more important to the financial security of the Meal Programs.
SPONSORSHIP
This is an excellent opportunity for local businesses to support our event and an extremely worthwhile cause. If you or your company would like to make a financial donation there are three levels of support.
Gold $5,000
Silver $2,500
Bronze $1,000
We thank you for your generosity and you will receive acknowledgement on our Facebook page as well in all correspondence and publicity.
