We seek to live out this message. Several groups within K-L come together through Outreach to engage with and support groups outside our church. We do this by raising funds for and providing non-financial support agencies in our community that provide many life essentials to the underprivileged. Outreach donations will create miracles! We support: Out of the Cold, Lake Scugog, The Gatehouse, Youth Without Shelter, Youth Unlimited, Stonegate Ministry, and Parkdale Golden Age Foundation. Contact us at outreach@kingswaylambton.ca to get invovled!
Out of the Cold is a city-wide initiative by many churches to support the homeless and disadvantaged. Each week the program provides meals and overnight accommodation for those in need. K-L's provided 2 dinners serving 200+ meals. That’s 80 lbs of potatoes, 10 eye of round roasts, and 10kg of peas and carrots, and a LOT of bread pudding! Watch Our Video!!
An overwhelming success again this year with more than 100 large bags of warm clothing generously donated by members of the community and our congregation! The donations were delivered to charities that help people experiencing homelessness and poverty. A special thanks goes to the volunteer team of over 20 members of our congregation who helped sort, bag and deliver the mountain of clothing!
On Saturday, February 24, 2024, from 9:30am – 11:00am, K-L did a local walk to support of our friends at Connect City Ministries.
