Within our parish, there are three facilities that support reintegration into society. The Jamieson Correctional Centre houses 40 men, Salvation Army Railton House (20), and the Elizabeth Fry Society Holly House houses 8 women from across the community, including non-offenders. Each facility works to develop plans with individuals to help them achieve personal growth and development. 

Beyond the Bread organizers, Ray and Dorothy Wincey, have been serving meals to the residents of these facilities since 2020. They provide take-away meals during Christmas and Easter, as well as an in-person "BBQ" during the summer. 

Support our Program

You can support the program in 3 ways:

  • Share. Let friends, family and colleagues know!

  • Donate. Give or start an online fundraiser! A $5 donation provides a meal made with love.

  • Join the team. Do you have a passion to care for the most marginalized in our community? Volunteers are needed to serve meals, prepare & transport food, and to clean the kitchen. To find out more about volunteering, contact us.
