Welcome Home

July 25th, 4pm - St John's Lunch Project Wrap-up Party - To everyone who helped make the St. John's Lunch Project for VCI Students such a wonderful success this past year—thank you!  Whether you organized, prepared food (pulled pork and cookies!), served meals, donated money or supported the project in any way, we'd love to celebrate with you Chez Bil & Mike. We'll be firing up the barbecue with hamburgers, hot dogs, and fresh corn, and we're counting on everyone's potluck spirit to round out the meal with appetizers, salads, desserts, or even another main dish if you'd like to bring one. Please bring your own beverages and lawn chairs. Please let Rick or Bil know if you'll be joining us so we can plan the food and provide you with the exact address. (Rain or shine!)

Centre 440 Hawkesbury - Providing lunch / Creating Community -  Summer Shutdown - Reopening August 22nd

Our entire team of leaders and volunteers has gone above and beyond, working at 200% since we first started this initiative last November! The sheer amount of hard work, heart, and passion that everyone has put in is truly impressive—and is the reason Centre 440 is as successful as it is today.

Because of this incredible effort, our team will be taking a well-deserved summer break to rest, relax, and re-energize for the exciting work ahead. Please note that Centre 440 will be closing for 5 Saturdays, returning on August 22nd, when we will be back in the kitchen preparing, serving, and getting everything ready for another wonderful season of community support.

Thank you to our parish for your ongoing encouragement and partnership. We look forward to seeing you again in late August!

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook (Centre 440 Hawkesbury) and keep up-to-date on what's happening at Centre 440!  And if you would like to join our volunteer team, ask a question or leave a comment, please send us an email at centre440hawkesbury@gmail.com.  We would love to connect with you!
