The St Stephen's Community Meal is for everyone -- those whose budgets need a free meal and those who need a meal with others. We want to bring neighbours together, make connections, and enjoy delicious food.
Please note: The December meal has been a full turkey dinner and our most popular meal. Check back in the fall of 2025 to find out if there will be special instructions for registration for this meal only.
The Community Meal is a simple evening meal offered on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Doors open at 4:30. Dinner is served at 5:30.
Dinner menus change monthly, reflecting seasonal offerings. Generally, we have salad, bread, a main dish, and dessert. Vegan options are available.
The meal is offered FREE OF CHARGE.
Those who are able are invited to take on a job - large or small - as part of setting up or cleaning up. Most jobs are assigned as the meal begins; please let the host at the door know you'd like to help.
The funding for this meal was initially provided by a Parish Development Grant from the Diocese of New Westminster. We gratefully accept donations from those willing and able to contribute financially. There is a donation jar at the meal or donations can be made online; use the drop down menu).
