Outreach: At Home and Abroad
We endeavour to collaborate with others when it comes to Outreach. We believe working together strengthens relationships and builds stronger, more sustainable communities. Central United Church is involved in various outreach programs:
Weekend Meal Programs:
Various churches in the downtown area take turns each Sunday serving a dinner to the less fortunate. While Central United does not prepare such a meal, a meal is served from our Queen Street doors on the first Sunday of each month, beginning at 4:30, and this meal is prepared in the Inspiration Café kitchen.
An additional program of supplying daily meals to seniors and others in our community is run in the Café as well, and volunteers are always needed to assist with this. For more information, contact the Southeast NB United Way at 506-858-8600 or email at office@moncton.unitedway.ca.
