Today's meal is homemade turkey soup with everything but the kitchen sink in it. Potatoes, carrots, celery, turnip, turkey, spinach and onions, plus a slice of bread. Nice hearty meal on this cold day. Thank you to Shirley for making such a beautiful meal.

Tonight’s meal made by Theresa is a tasty portion of chicken shawarma, served over turmeric rice with hummus and homemade pickled turnip!

Many thanks to the Wednesday Wheels team who is braving some nasty weather to deliver sustenance and kindness to our city’s unhoused. 💚

Our Friday team served a delicious homemade roast chicken dinner with peas and mash potatoes with gravy. Love in a box!

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

Thank you, Kelly, for making another delicious meal for our Sunday Wheels Team today. Honey garlic, roasted chicken with rice and veggies. What a treat. 💚💚💚

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

Tonight's meal for our unhoused friends is delicious pork tenderloin roast in mushroom onion gravy with carrots and mashed potatoes, and a little dish of dill pickles. It smelled so good and I'm sure will be a comforting, healthful meal for our dear community.

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

Our Tuesday Team made a fantastic Salisbury steak dinner for our unhoused friends tonight. It had a mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans, plus all the regular add-on treats as well.

Thank you to NBCC students Julia & Abby, for leading a donation drive on behalf of StreetTeamSJ and the Green Room donation centre. It was a huge success! 💚💚💚

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

@Brent4SJ @RedTory1 We agree. It absolutely can’t be all that we do. We see our role being similar to first aid responders. We lhelp people in the now, to help them get to tomorrow. Repeating to keep people around until there is permanent meaningful change.

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

It’s definitely a community effort

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

@Gailey99 Yeah, we’ve never run across any unhoused person who didn’t know their own name.

[Street Team SJ @StreetTeamSJ]

Tonight’s team made and served a great homemade turkey to our unhoused friends. Thank you also to the family who made gorgeous cupcakes and fun treat bags.
