Unfortunately, many facilities that provide meal services to the poor during the week are closed on the weekends. The local churches from all denominations fill this gap by providing meals, clothing, toiletries, books and other needs. Saint John’s, being in the center of the city, provides the facilities for individuals to come and receive sack lunches each Saturday. They also take their turn in the rota of the providing churches. It is the oldest outreach program of St John’s and is run by faithful parishioners who have performed this service for many, many years.
