From Dormant Winter to Spring

The smell of freshly toasted garlic bread wafts through the air. The tables are set, the wait staff are ready, the coffee is on and the kitchen is teaming with activity. The doors are almost ready to open. For the past nine years, Saturday Suppers@Stirling have provided a hot meal and a place of belonging for 170 guests and 50 volunteers each week. Arising from a need to support the Out of the Cold program in the area by providing a secondary site for suppers, Saturday Suppers@Stirling was open from November through to April, and the coffee was hot.

The pandemic arrived and Stirling closed their doors. “We have certainly been asked by people when we are opening again because they miss the social aspect of what we had,” says Josie Winterfeld, Missions, Peace & Justice and Outreach Worker at Stirling.
