History of The Ark
"The next time you put on a dinner, don't just invite your friends and family and rich neighbours, the kind of people who will return the favour. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You'll be—and experience—a blessing.”
The Message
A small group decided that these words effected who they invited to Christmas dinner. Hosting a feast for members of the homeless community was the beginning of twenty-two years of meals and meeting together at the Sunday Supper. The drop-in centre evolved out of a desire to create a safe place, a sanctuary for youth who were sleeping on our streets.
