REACHING OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY, TO OUR WORLD
We-Can Food Co-op
On the third Thursday of each month, St. David’s supports a food co-op. The idea is that people pre-order meat, vegetables etc. The cost is reduced because it is ordered in bulk and the types of food to be ordered each month is pre-set. People do not have to order every month. For information on how to join the food co-op, contact the church office.
Anyone wishing to help with the sorting or distribution of the food can come to the Leduc and District Foodbank (4810-49 Ave) at 3:00pm on third Thursdays.
Mission & Service
The United Church of Canada supports various ministry and support endeavours throughout Canada and all over the world through partner organizations and churches. The means to this end is the Mission and Service Fund. Donations can be made through St. David’s. For more information on the M&S Fund, visit:
