Lambeth United Church’s Advent Fundraiser for 519Pursuit a tremendous success Submitted by Lambeth United Church Lambeth United Church’s Advent fundraiser for the grassroots organization 519Pursuit, which provides food and other essential items for London’s homeless, was a tremendous success. The original goal was to raise $3,000. By the time the campaign ended at the end of December, the congregation actually raised $8,565. On Sunday, Feb. 23rd, Allison DeBeare, the co-founder and executive director of 519Pursuit, and a former street person, Michelle, spoke to the congregation. Afterwards, a mock cheque presentation was made which is shown in the picture at right. Allison and Michelle’s message was very informative but shocking to hear. It was a true ‘eye-opener’. The congregation was grateful for their openness. The money raised was immediately sent to 519Pursuit in early January as there was an emergency need for it. In January, as the deep cold set in, the City of London created an alert for cold weather and created an ‘in-out-of-the-cold’ shelter opportunity for individuals facing homelessness and extreme poverty. With that alert came the need for food security and support. At 519Pursuit they were able to step up and provide the needed support by providing meals and other essentials for the over 100 folks who came in out of the cold. They were able to expand their outreach operations as well during the alert. It’s because of donations like the one from The Lambeth United Church that allowed 519Pursuit to immediately step up and help the City’s initiative by providing the much needed meals and support. Allison wrote to thank the Lambeth United Church congregation stating, “It’s because of this support that we were
able to immediately help out in this emergency situation and continue our mission to provide support for London’s homeless and marginalized”. The Lambeth United Church is located at 4268 Colonel Talbot Road. Follow them on Facebook or visit www.lambethunitedchurch.com for more information.
