We are holding our annual GA PJ Day on Thursday 20 June (Week 9) and once again
this year we will be supporting Angels’ Kitchen. This amazing community service
provides an evening meal for around 100 homeless or destitute people every single
Sunday of the year. This initiative was started in 1993 by parishioners who recognised
a need in the local community and a small group of volunteers from the Southport
Parish continues to plan nutritious meals, purchase the required food products, cook
these meals and serve them from the Southport Community Centre…and all of this
with very little funding but always with smiles on their faces. Some of the volunteers
even pay for the food out of their own pockets; one volunteer is almost ninety. Once
each term members of the GA staff also give up their Sunday afternoon to cook and
supply 100 meals for Angels’ Kitchen. In the next week or so each GA student will
receive a donation envelope to return to school on GA PJ Day – please support us in
raising much needed funds for Angels’ Kitchen.
