Timmins Lawyers Feed the Hungry

 

Timmins Lawyers Feed the Hungry

 

Timmins Lawyers Feed the Hungry launched May 25, 2019 preparing and serving meals for those vulnerable and hungry within the community. The increase in precarious employment combined with an aging population and rising cost of living results in the harsh reality that one in seven households can’t afford the basic necessities of life.

Operating out of Living Space, Timmins Lawyers Feed the Hungry provides a nutritious meal and warm welcome for those struggling to have enough to eat.

Brunch is served the last Saturday of each month from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at 27 Cedar Street North.
