January 12, 2017: The Record - Out of the Cold continues feeding homeless
❝WATERLOO REGION — The Out of the Cold program continues to provide vital support to Waterloo Region’s homeless despite scaled back operations in recent winters.❞
❝❝While the Out of the Cold program has changed, we do continue with the four sites,❞ said facilitator Cathie Stewart Savage. ❝It’s not as busy, but it’s still busy.❞❞
❝❝For some of us, we’ve continued the program because of the other needs we’d been meeting,❞ said Stewart Savage, also co-ordinator of the Friday evening program at First United Church in Waterloo.❞
❝St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Kitchener looks after Wednesday night, along with breakfast on Thursday morning; Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church in Kitchener covers Saturday night; and Sunday night is hosted by Saint Louis Roman Catholic Church in Waterloo.❞
❝Along with providing a nourishing meal, the churches offer company and a chance to socialize. They’re seeing people who didn’t go to Out of the Cold’s overnight program now joining the evening meal.❞
❝❝For those few people who stay, it’s like a vital community touch for them to be able to do that,❞ said Stewart Savage, who has been volunteering with Out of the Cold from the beginning.❞
