Enjoy a wonderful evening of music while supporting the Breakfast Program at The Salvation Army in Peterborough. Breakfast meals are provided free-of-charge five mornings a week for those who are homeless or in need. Tenor, Kenneth Beal from Wurzburg Germany, and pianist Charles Gerard, are performing the benefit concert on Thursday, August 17th at 7 p.m. at The Salvation Army in Peterborough, in memory of Kenneth's father, Lloyd Beal who volunteered countless hours to the Breakfast Program. The Program is totally funded by donations, and with the numbers of those accessing breakfast going up tremendously and coupled with the significant increase in the cost of groceries, the donation dollars are being stretched and thus the amount of food being given out has unfortunately decreased. At $20 a ticket, concertgoers will not only be treated to a moving musical performance, but will also be supporting a vital community program. For tickets, contact JoAnne Leach at 705-760-5514 or email djleach79@yahoo.ca. All ticket money and additional donations will be going directly to this much-needed service in our community. with something for everyone, it's a concert you won't want to miss!
Gillian’s Place is excited to announce Walk a Mile in HER Shoes at the Pen Centre. Are you man enough? Prove it on Saturday October 14th and join the men's march to end violence against women.
Walk a Mile in HER Shoes is a symbolic march that gives men and male-identifying allies the opportunity to take a stand against violence against women. We are abundantly grateful to our corporate sponsors, walkers, ambassadors, and donors, who over the past 17 years have helped raise over $1,390,000 for Gillian’s Place. Beyond raising vital funds for Gillian’s Place, the men’s march has helped spread awareness about violence against women in Niagara, and beyond.
Gillian’s Place needs Niagara’s male and male-identifying allies to rally and march to end violence against women this October. By walking and/or donating, you are raising awareness and ensuring that practical and compassionate services are there when protection and support is needed most.
