Breakfast Program

Did You Know?

The Community Breakfast Program is held 365 days a year at St George's Anglican Church, 83 Church Street, St Catharines.

The breakfasts themselves are coordinated daily by about 14 different church groups, including Mountainview United Church, and by a few community groups. Volunteer crew members arrive at the church at about 6.45 hr and finish by about 9.00 hr.

The program feeds 525 clients weekly, using the following amounts of food :

33 cans Orange drink (frozen)
70 loaves of bread
36 cans Apple juice
16 lbs. margarine
14 lbs. oatmeal
15 lbs. peanut butter
26 boxes cold cereal
14 medium jars jam
50 bags milk (200 quarts)
14 lbs. coffee
15 lbs. brown sugar
15 lbs. white sugar

In 2011, Mountainview United Church's Lenten project for the Breakfast Program raised over $2000, about one month's cost for this program. Sometimes the church basket donations of large peanut butter containers and large cereal boxes are taken to the Breakfast program.

Mountainview United Church coordinates the breakfast at least one day a month (3rd Saturday of the month), and sometimes twice a month (fifth Sunday of the month). We currently have about 20 regular volunteers and a few friends of the congregation who also help

If you would like to occasionally be part of the volunteer group for the breakfast program crew, have any questions, or would consider being on one of the planning committee teams for fundraising, etc., please each contact the Mountainview Church Office. It is a very worthwhile volunteer experience.
