In our ‘new normal’ it is recommended that we all wear face masks or coverings whenever it is not possible to keep the two metre/six feet distance between people in situations such as TTC or UBER travel, grocery shopping, etc.

If you are having difficulty finding such a mask, we have the solution.

Pick up a mask at Beach United Church (140 Wineva Ave.)
Thursday mornings from 9 am – 12 noon
(A $10 donation per mask is suggested to cover materials
and support the ongoing lunch program at Beach United)

June 5th join the Beach United Church Team for this year’s Virtual Fred’s Walk.

During this time of isolation I’ve thought a lot about how lucky I am to be able to shelter. How lucky I am to be able to wash my hands. How lucky I am to have food in the fridge. It’s been a crazy time and we’ve all had lots on our minds but just imagine if you didn’t have a place to call home. How scary would that be? Long before COVID Fred Victor Centre has been helping people find shelter. I’ve been on previous year’s walks and have always been inspired by Fred Victor’s compassion. They see people who need a helping hand whether it’s helping someone find shelter, helping someone learn a new skill so they can find work or offering food when someone is hungry. [Mary Anne Lemm]

Please join the Beach United Team and Fred Victor and offer a helping hand to more people in our community. You can join the Beach United Team as a participant and collect your own donations which would be terrific or you can donate directly to the Team page. Thanks in advance.

Some of us at Beach United Church have joined the Recovery for All – a campaign to end homelessness in Canada once and for all. This bold campaign is trying to reverse the decade’s long policy of homelessness, encouraging our Parliament to invest in a COVID-19 recovery for all individuals.

We are at a unique moment in time when big change is possible – we have a progressively aligned federal Parliament and a public sharing in some of the fear, worry and anxiety that our homeless neighbours feel every day. We have proven models to follow, communities already having success in reducing homelessness and we have a growing and powerful grassroots movement working to end homelessness. 

We can stimulate the economy, create jobs, and end homelessness at the same time. 

I would really appreciate it if you could join too! It takes 30 seconds. Here is the link  https://www.recoveryforall.ca

Thank you!!!!
