Thank you to everyone who made yesterday at St. John’s Kitchen possible.

If you would like to help out over the holiday season at St. John’s, there’s still plenty of opportunity!

On Christmas Day, we will be opening the dining area for to serve our Christmas meal. If anyone would like to join team on December 25th from 10am-12pm, or 12-2pm – you are most welcome!

While Christmas Day often draws many willing volunteers, the days surrounding December 25th are just as important (and often much quieter). With many of our regular supporters taking some well-deserved rest, there is meaningful work to share during this stretch.

If you have time to join the team at SJK on more typical weekdays—Monday to Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.—you are warmly invited to drop in for a couple of hours and be part of the daily rhythm of St. John’s Kitchen.

If you’re interested or would like to connect further, please reach out at [email protected].
