Together with Third Space Café, we serve 50-75 warm, nutritious breakfasts each day, seven days a week, to the beautiful people of our city—our neighbours living on the street, in tents, doorways, abandoned spaces, under-serviced motels, and in overnight municipal shelters. That is over 20,000 breakfasts served each year! More than just a breakfast service provider, we seek to be a warm inclusive community of connection and support.
Our growing “congregation” is beginning to have a different face: They live in tents, doorways, abandoned buildings, and misfit motels. They live with mental illness, addiction, and trauma of many kinds. Homelessness has 1,000 faces. Passing a “homeless neighbour” on the street is different when you know their name and have eaten breakfast with them. “They” becomes “us”. And “us” are becoming a fuller, wider reflection of God’s beautiful kingdom.
