St. John’s (Ancaster) outreach ministry volunteers held a bottle drive for Mission Services in Hamilton recently and were overwhelmed by the response.
Nearly $3,300 was raised for the important work being done by Mission Services among the most marginalized in our city.
Volunteers welcomed a long line up of cars who dropped off bottles at the church entrance while observing social distancing protocols, including wearing masks and gloves. For three days afterwards volunteers returned the bottles to various beer stores outlets around Ancaster.
