Community Outreach
Carmichael Outreach
An overnight warming center has opened at Carmichael Outreach and will be accessible seven days a week from 11pm to 7am for people who need a safe place to go. Glen Elm has committed to helping with food and drinks for 60 once a month over the winter. Email Kelli at the office if you can help out.
Monthly Meal
Glen Elm is committed to providing a monthly meal for an inner city church, Good News Chapel. The meal is prepared at our church building on Sunday morning and then volunteers take it over at noon to serve, fellowship and cleanup.
Opportunities are available for both cooking at the church building and serving at Good News Chapel
Community Fridges
A Community Fridge is a type of 'free store' that is from the community, for the community. It is 100% community owned, used and maintained.
Regina has 3 fridges:
1. Cathedral Community Fridge - 2104 Garnet Street - in the parking lot of Holy Rosary Cathedral
2. Regina Community Fridge - 3037 Dewdney Ave - behind the pharmacy on Dewdney & Cameron St
3. Heritage Community Fridge - 1510 12th Ave - Next to Carmichael Outreach
Food insecurity is a growing problem in our city. Several times a year we collect fridge and pantry items as a church and deliver to the fridges. Food can be dropped off anytime and there are other ways to get involved including: picking up flash food items or joining the cleaning team (15 min training provided). Contact the fridge teams directly through social media or email the office for more info.
