Every Thursday, our team of passionate volunteers prepare and deliver 200 meals FREE to seniors, families who struggle financially, hungry college students and disabled individuals. Not only does each meal include a handmade encouragement card and home baked goods; this essential service includes a wellness check, a friendly visitor and referral support.

Front Line invites families and referrals to our weekly Food Distribution. Their low-income housing address confirms their need, so we are thankful to welcome families without the humiliation of them having to prove as often happens, that they are in need. Although the food is the draw, what they receive is so much more: a welcome, a smile, an invitation to sit, have a snack and chat. Regardless of their beliefs, it is a safe place to share, be heard and often receive a hug and a prayer.

Each week, single/married moms gather to kindle new friendships. Within this group, we welcome women to share in a safe place; finding care and strength to move forward with the support of peers, community referrals and networking.

There are monthly guest speakers, then outings and ongoing support for those needing additional support and sharing special celebrations. Welcoming all an opportunity to volunteer within the organization thereby gaining transferable

skills and self-worth.

At any given time, there are about 100 homeless people in Oakville so on Monday evenings we open the doors and invite them in for a hot meal, conversation and a replenishment of toiletries, clothing or some tangible item they may need to survive. Some come from a shelter, others from a tent, some from a friend who has allowed them to sleep temporarily on their couch. All are welcomed and pastoral care is offered.

Various groups volunteer to provide the meal, more are welcome to join.

Every Friday, members of Front Line Outreach and loyal volunteers set up a hub, and often a warming station, at a known/trusted landing point for the downtrodden struggling with addiction/mental health and housing security. Hot beverages, snacks, healthy meals, Naloxone, warm clothing, outdoor survival essentials and more are provided. A listening ear, care, support, prayer and advocacy

bear witness to the grace of God through sincere caring and compassion.

More than 350 families are invited to come to our Toy Store, to personally choose gifts for their children. Thanks to the generosity of residents of Oakville, through toys donated to Oakville Firefighters Toys-for-Tots event, our tables are full! Thank you, Oakville Firefighters who lend their hands and hearts, to help make this happen! Parents set up an appointment to shop and are assigned a personal assistant to help.

An incredibly fulfilling opportunity.

You will leave with your heart full!
