Food Drive

Walking up and down the streets of Meadowlands, going house to house, collecting canned food, in the pouring rain. Depends on the way you look at it, but from most people’s perspectives, this may not seem to be the way they want to spend their Friday evening. But as a couple of my roommates happen to be a part of SASC – Spiritual Activities and Services Committee, this is how I spent my Friday evening on November 7.



SASC organized this opportunity for students of Redeemer to go out to the many houses in Meadowlands, directly behind Redeemer campus, and pick up canned goods for a food drive. All of the canned food was brought to our dorm, which was then shipped off to Mission Services, an organization here in Hamilton. It was amazing to see the community become so involved in one common goal, and be so generous in their offerings to this organization. Many people were prepared for us to come, and had bags of canned goods ready when we arrived, this was an incredible experience to be a part of.
