Lambeth United Church supports homeless program At one of their Breakfast Speaker Before Church events in November, the parishioners of Lambeth United Church heard from Larry Morrow, one of their members, who volunteers with a London organization called 519Pursuit. 519Pursuit helps and supports London’s homeless, right where they live in the streets and in their encampments. Larry outlined how 519Pursuit works collaboratively with the London Food Bank and the kitchen staff at Canada Life Place (formerly the JLC and Budweiser Gardens) to provide the homeless with meals. The London Food Bank provides the food. Canada Life Place cooks and packages the meals and 519Pursuit volunteers deliver it, along with clothing and other vital items. Following Larry’s presentation, the Church held an Advent fundraiser to help support 519Pursuit. During the month of December, the church’s parishioners were challenged to raise at least $3,000 for the cause. To the date of writing of this article (December 12), over $5,500 has been raised. One parishioner said, “….when you see the plight of the homeless on the TV news every day, particularly in this cold weather, one feels helpless as to how to help, so it’s not surprising to see such a great response.” Many thanks go to Larry and his fellow volunteers for taking on this difficult work. Lambeth Rotary supports local community At their Christmas Dinner/Auction Gala held at the Stoneridge Inn in early December, the London-Lambeth Rotary Club presented cheques to two local organizations to support their good community work. One cheque was presented to James Sheilds, President of the Lambeth Harvestfest Committee for use in the 2025 Harvestfest. The other cheque was presented to Larry Morrow, a volunteer with 519Pursuit. 519Pursuit provides food, clothing and other essential items to London’s homeless, right where they live on the streets and in their encampments. The London-Lambeth Rotary Club once again had a very successful fundraiser event with lots of folks from the community attending. A good time was had by all. The funds raised all go to Rotary’s ongoing efforts to help others in need, both locally and internationally. The Lambeth Rotarians would like to thank all those who helped, both by attending and buying auction items and to those individuals and businesses who freely gave auction items to sell.
