A Huge Heartfelt Thank You from the Executive Director of the Agapè Centre
Cornwall, Ontario - The very essence of Thanksgiving is to be thankful for all the blessings. We, at the Agapè Centre have received so many generous gifts these past several months that we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have touched the Centre in some way.
Each year, the Agapè Centre continues to advance its mission of reducing the impact of poverty in our community. Through our services, notably our soup kitchen and food bank, we continue to make a difference in the lives of others. It is unfortunate that our community relies heavily on our services; however, the commitment we have seen from our community members and businesses is sincerely appreciated.
As we look back on our attainments over the past year, including the purchase of a new stove, we recognize that all this has been made possible through the outstanding acts of caring and commitment on the part of our donors, supporters, and thoughtful citizens.
The Agapè Centre is truly grateful for the following donors & contributors:
