— means the filing doesn't include the lines needed; details and sources below.·How to read these figures
This filing's expense lines don't reconcile: program spending (line 5000) plus overhead (5010 + 5020) adds up to more than total spending (4950). Cents-to-cause and overhead can't both be right, and the filing doesn't say which — so this charity is left out of ranked search results for this filing year. We show both figures exactly as filed; read them together with this in mind, or check the public record ↗.

On a weekly basis we offer religious services Bible Study and meditation ping pong club and music programs. ( choir and Hand Bell choir)Our volunteers help the House of Lazarus' weekly Breakfast Club and Dinner on the House program in our facilities. Our facilities are given free of charge to support the work of this mission. We donate to two local food banks; House of Lazarus and Community Food Share as well as the local Snowsuit/Christmas fund and the area church camp. A child was sponsored to the same camp this year. We support the Mission and Service Fund through the United Church of Canada. Our Christmas Day turkey dinner delivers meals to the community free of charge and with the help of many volunteers. We also supported a large family with Christmas gifts gas and food cards through the Adopt-A-Family program. All of these programs would not be available without the help of many volunteers.
