Our Place serving up 1,000 Christmas meals

Our Place Society and volunteers from throughout the community will be helping spread holiday cheer by providing a festive Christmas meal to those in need.

This year, Our Place has seen a dramatic increase in meals served with a 52-per-cent increase year over year in October, and a staggering 86-per-cent increase in November. “Christmas is such an important time for family, but many of the people we serve have little or no connection to their biological family,” said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place. “We’re the closest family they have. We want them to know they are important and loved.”
