Assistance to ELUCO

Every fall Rowntree asks the congregation to pick up school supplies and backpacks to donate to ELUCO- the East London United Church Outreach. http://www.eluco.ca   which is a group of east London church’s.  These are items destined for needy kids. In  2019, we donated 37 backpacks and many other items such as pens, pencils, markers etc. Rowntree members also donated $498 to ELUCO’s fall 2019 Walk and Roll fundraiser

The ELUCO food cupboard is a busy spot – totals for 2019 were; 504 families, 865 adults and 348 children received assistance from the food cupboard  Rowntree’s own garden supplied 50 lbs of potatoes in the fall of 2019 and 320 lbs of produce was donated at Thanksgiving.  The first Sunday of the month we ask our congregation to bring in non-perishable food items that get delivered to the ELUCO food cupboard – in Gethsemane Gardens, corner of Sandford and Huron in London. The Eluco food cupboard’s hours are ( summer 2020) Wed & Friday 9:30- 12 pm

 

Rowntree UCW and our Outreach group sponsored 2 children for Camp Kee Mo Kee this past summer as part of our support to ELUCO.
