St Stephen's Community Meal

The St Stephen's Community Meal is for everyone -- those whose budgets need a free meal and those who need a meal with others. We want to bring neighbours together, make connections, and enjoy delicious food. The Community Meal is a simple evening meal offered on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Doors open at 4:30. Dinner is served at 5:30. Dinner menus change monthly, reflecting seasonal offerings. Generally, we have salad, bread, a main dish, and dessert. Vegan options are available. The meal is offered FREE OF CHARGE. The funding for this meal was initially provided by a Parish Development Grant from the Diocese of New Westminster. We gratefully accept donations from those willing and able to contribute financially. There is a donation jar at the meal or donations can be made online; use the drop down menu). The meal relies on volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to meals @ ststephenburnaby.ca.
