On December 25, The Mustard Seed staff, along with volunteers, will serve a traditional Christmas meal for those who come together around their tables.
Christmas Dinner at The Mustard Seed is described as a time of community for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. The organization encourages those who need support, are missing family, or don’t want to be alone over the holidays to join them.
“Our Christmas dinner means so much for our shelter guests and community members, their holidays are not as joyful as those who have homes and families to celebrate with,” says Dwayne Kraushar, Shelter Manager at The Mustard Seed in Red Deer. “For some, it’s the toughest time of the year. This is why our staff give their 110 per cent during this dinner to show them that they are loved, they are cared for and they are supported.”
“The hot meals we serve, and the warm welcoming is our way of showing our support to the vulnerable members of the community in Red Deer,” adds Kraushar. “We hope that being in a community of people that care for them can remind them of better days. We hope they can feel the love we put into the Christmas meal here at the Seed.”
