A Message of Thanks from the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission

As we reflect on this past year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support
we’ve received from our community. 2024 has been a challenging year for us, with rising costs
of food, aging equipment in need of repairs, and fewer hands to help carry the workload. Yet,
every time we reached out for help, you answered our call—and for that, we are truly humbled.
Your generosity—whether through food donations, financial contributions, or time—has
allowed us to continue serving our neighbours in need. Local businesses, schools, churches,
clubs, unions, and countless individuals have stepped up to support the Mission, showing the
true spirit of Amherstburg.
This holiday season was particularly heartwarming. The community helped sponsor 32 families
in need, ensuring 75 children had gifts under the tree and food on their table. Thanks to you,
every request was met, and every heart was touched.
This year, we continued the momentum of bringing back our cherished fundraisers like the Golf
Tournament, Chili Dinner, and Tambola Night. These events not only helped raise vital funds
but also brought our community together in meaningful ways. We are deeply grateful for the
sponsors, raffle prize donors, and everyone who participated to make them such a success.
We owe special thanks to our volunteers, who continue to give their time and energy to our
Mission. Their dedication reminds us daily that “People Helping People” is not just our
motto—it’s the heart of everything we do. To our Board of Directors, whose leadership and
commitment keep us moving forward, thank you for your unwavering support.
As we look ahead to 2025, we remain inspired by the power of small acts of kindness and the
strength that comes from a community united in care and compassion. At the Amherstburg
Food and Fellowship Mission, our focus goes beyond providing food—we aim to create a
welcoming space where everyone feels valued, supported, and connected.
To everyone who has donated, volunteered, or simply supported us with kind words and
encouragement—thank you. To those who rely on our services, thank you for your trust in us
and for the kindness you show to one another. Together, we are stronger, and together, we can
continue to make a difference.
We hope we can count on your continued support as we enter the new year. May 2025 bring
peace, hope, and kindness to all.

With gratitude,
Tim McAllister, President
& The Board of Directors
