For nearly 35 years, Souls Harbour Rescue Mission has been serving an annual Christmas dinner to Regina’s most vulnerable.
“It creates a sense of love, warmth and holiday spirit for everybody,” said the mission’s director of finance and development Kathy Ingram. “Especially for those in need this time of year.”
Each year, Souls Harbour volunteers prepare to feed between 400 and 600 people at their annual Community Christmas Meal.
Every individual who walked through the door got a warm traditional Christmas dinner with a plate full of turkey, stuffing and potatoes with a layer of gravy on top.
All capped off with a slice of pumpkin pie and a hot coffee.
Community members also wrote hand-written cards set at each seat.
“Our only requirement is come hungry,” Ingram said. “But we're serving seniors, men, women and little kids. We're just here to help.”
