Clarkson Road will be lending support to Indwell, which is a Christian charity that creates affordable housing communities that support people seeking health, wellness and belonging. Indwell’s vision statement “Hope and homes for all” ties directly to the call to love our neighbours.

Indwell’s new “Lakeshore Lofts”, located in Port Credit, will be opening for new residents in January. You may have noticed this distinctive building, painted with blue waves, on the north side of Lakeshore, near Cawthra Road. The Compass will be moving into a new space on the first floor of this building early in the new year.

Our plan for December for Faith in Action is to create “Welcome Packages” for the new residents of the building. We will also be providing additional items for some of the residents who are moving in with few possessions.

We will be collecting the items on the list below during the month of December.  (The list will be updated weekly to show how many of each item we still need).

1. Drop them off at the church during the Sunday service.
2. Drop them off at the church during Karen’s office hours (Thursdays, 10-12).
3. Leave them at the front door of the church (outside Gale’s office) at any time when the church is closed and our custodian, Tom, will bring them inside.

We are also accepting cash donations so that we may buy additional items for the residents who are moving in with few possessions. This work is being done in conjunction with a Mississauga charity called “The Fresh Start Project” which helps individuals transition from a shelter environment to a home.

Volunteers are needed to help assemble the packages on Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 10AM at the church. If you would like to volunteer to help put the packages together, please email Karen at the church at office@clarksonpc.com.

Thank you so much for your willingness to help love our neighbours, and spread the HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE of God to our community.
