Food for Drop-In 
​Our daily drop-in program supports Carlington community members with a healthy snack and tea or coffee. You can support the program by donating grocery gift cards in any denomination. We also take donations of tea, coffee, fruits, muffins, yogurt,  and crackers.

Gift Cards
Sometimes there’s too much month at the end of the money. You can help by donating gift cards for groceries, pharmacy, or other essential shopping, in smaller denominations, to help us provide relief to those in critical need.

The Chaplaincy runs on a very small budget, and depends on donations of many kinds to function. Your help, via monetary donation, in-kind goods or services, or even a donation of your time, will make a big difference in the lives of Carlington residents accessing the Chaplaincy's services. Residents gain better access to healthy food, a stronger sense of community, and opportunities for personal and artistic development.
