Meals and Necessities for women at the Warm Zone through Abbotsford Women’s Resource Centre.  

We have an opportunity to show love and compassion in practical ways to some of the most needy women in our community.

Norma Neufeld co-ordinates:

• Quarterly cook days 
• Supplying and serving food at the Warm Zone 
• Dessert Night – Praise God for all He is doing through the Warm Zone Ministry!

Women from our church provide hot meals for street-entrenched women who attend a drop-in at the Abbotsford Women’s Resource Centre. We also help provide other basic necessities like toiletries and clothing.

Following is a list of suggested donations which can be dropped off in the bins available in the foyer, or at Connecting Points or Evening Edition.

For more information, email Norma Neufeld or contact her at 604-850-9390 or call the church office at 604-853-2663.
