Holy Trinity Anglican Church St. George was very excited to partner with the St. George Legion this year. On Shrove Tuesday, we served pancakes, pure maple syrup, sausages, beans, coffee and tea to the village and made $1,269.20 to benefit the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation. This partnership will continue again next year.
In past years, we would serve the community from our basement. We have also partnered with the St. George Children's Centre in a new daycare for children up to 5 years of age. After extensive renovations, we now welcome 24 children. This has been by far our largest and most successful outreach to the community.
The community of St. George is involved with our numerous outreach collections for those less fortunate namely, food for the Brantford Food Bank, clothing for Migrant workers, school supplies for students, shoes for Africa, and warm socks, scarves, mitts and hats for those in need.
As a thank-you we have a free pizza night once a month in the church hall. It has been great to meet our neighbours in the community at large.
We are a small church with 22 active dedicated members, but together, we are able to accomplish much.
