Community Ministry is an ecumenically supported ministry of Calvary Memorial United Church in Kitchener and Trillium Lutheran Church in Waterloo. Through Community Ministry, we reach out to the broader community beyond our own doors. We have placed a special emphasis on supporting and caring for the marginalized and disadvantaged members of our society.

At Community Ministry, we: 

 • Strive to help marginalized persons in the Kitchener-Waterloo area access basic needs 

 • Build healthy community and ease feelings of isolation

 • Support the growth of trust between church communities and individuals in the broader community 

 • Provide limited support for food purchases to families 

 • Sustain a welcoming environment regardless of ethnicity, religious beliefs or sexual orientation 

The Community Ministry Coordinator:

 • Is available for conversation, listening, guidance and support 

 • Assists members of the community to access appropriate resources, seek educational opportunities for community groups to assist in the understanding of poverty and justice issues 

 • Hosts, with a team of volunteers, a weekly free community meal at Trillium Lutheran Church on Thursdays at 5:00 pm
