pounds of Humanitari-
an Aid to the homeless
in downtown Toronto.

100 sleeping bags +
blankets
Over 500lbs of cloth-
ing. 100 Winter Coats
50 Winter Survival

cards

What a Winter ! We have so many donors and volunteers to thank in-cluding our SFC Board, who gave of their time and efforts to help us. Special thanks to all who committed to pray for us. Prayer moves the hand of God!
Special thanks to The Bargains Group for
all the Winter Survival Kits & Sleeping bags
There’s an estimated 5500 homeless people living outside in Toronto
One of our
weekly duties
is to reach out
to the most vul-
nerable living
on the streets
with donated
items through
our mobile
operations unit.
Without these
essential items
we would not be
able to help so
many in need.
Special thanks to
Jody Steinhauer
and the
Engage and
Change Program
for including us
in the annual
Project Winter
Survival
every year.

Volunteer Spotlight
One of the backbones of every ministry are its
Volunteers. We are so thankful to the Lord for so many
committed Volunteers. Week in and out we need the
assistance of many leaders and Volunteers who help us
deliver many vital items to those living right on the
streets. We couldn't do it alone and we say a BIG
THANK YOU to all who have come on board to be our
team of committed leadership.

Winter was exceptionally cold once again for the homeless in downtown Toronto.
But thanks to so many of you, we met an abundance of needs for those living
right outside on the streets. From coats, to heavy tops, pants, hats, gloves
along with sleeping bags and blankets, we received so many awesome items
for those cold and extreme nights many need to survive outside.
We say thank you once again for all you have done.
It is with a heartfelt thanks we take a moment to thank all those special
groups and individuals that went beyond the call of duty to collect many
hundreds of pounds of clothing for us. Thank you to Yew-Thong Leong
who made a huge effort to bless us by collecting clothing including over
100 of winter coats so vitally needed. We thank Yew-Thong for all the
groups he contacted, asking them to help us. Thanks to the Students of
Ryerson University, Department of Architectural Sciences, to Generation
Church, to Logos Baptist Church and to the 8th Markham Scouts Group.
We say big thank you to each and everyone of you.
To Andre Dellerba and the entire group from iYeshua Richmond
Hill, thank you for the wonderful clothing. Thanks to Ingrid
Hunte for annual clothing donations, to Carlos Bocachica for
key winter items, and thanks to Hugh and Jeannette McCalla for
the timely donation of all the winter coats. To all we say thank
you for supporting us in this vital way.
Clothing donations
are always vitally
needed even at local
shelters. As seen
here we donated
clothing to Regent
Park Community
Center several times
over the winter.

A Message from Pastor Dean
What a year so far. A record number of people have tak-
en up our cause collecting vital clothing we use to help
the homeless. On behalf of our board, myself and my
wife we thank you for all the clothing donations. You are
a blessing to us.
And we wouldn't be able to do what we do without our
financial supporters. To you we say a huge thank you for
giving to make our work a joy to others and to see God’s
work advanced here in Toronto. Lastly and most importantly we thank God the Father for
the opportunity to be his light in dark places here in Toronto. Pastor Dean and Kim O’Connor
On Extreme Cold Alert days the homeless
need warmth and we are there to help.
From Street Ministry to Street Preaching were there to
