Here at St. Andrew’s we feel it is important to serve not only our members, but the community that we call home, Hespeler, Cambridge. Several groups and agencies have found a home here. Thursdays have become a very important day at St. Andrew’s. Starting late morning the Self-Help Food Bank opens up to better serve clients in the Hespeler area. The Community Clothing Centre is also open. The food bank sees around 40 families access their program every 2 weeks while the Clothing Centre sees approximately 100 people per month. Once evening arrives wonderful smells can lead you to our Thursday Night Supper & Social (provided from October to April each year). About 40 people come to eat each week. St. Andrew’s Hespeler currently find ourselves in the need of replacing our very old heating system (in the original building) and asbestos remediation/removal. In order to continue being a vital part of the Hespeler Community we are asking for your help.
