There is good new to share from Heba, the mom of the Syrian family St. Paul's sponsored five years ago.
Heba passed her test to become a Canadian Citizen and she is very excited.
The ceremony will either be on Zoom or in person at a later date.
We look forward to celebrating with her.

If you are wondering if your pantry donations are being put to good use, YES, THEY ARE.
Here are some pictures from last week's pantry program. Items are not the same every week but it gives you an idea.
People can chose two proteins. One small bag of milk is one protein and, if they choose that,
they can have one other item from proteins.
They also have the choice of a roll of toilet paper or a box of Kleenex each week.
At the personal hygiene stop, they have one choice of
deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, or sanitary pads every week.
One week they can get coffee, tea, or sugar, etc., and dish or laundry soap the other week.
Then they have two choices from the fruits and vegetables table.
The people can also get a $25 shopping card every two months.
Your donations to this outreach are used wisely and are much appreciated.
