Loving Hands Feeding 1400 People Downtown Hamilton Every Saturday Since 2019
A wealthy country such as Canada cannot ethically ignore the most vulnerable in society. Whatever the cause of their plight, the Gore Park Angels offer help to everyone — rain or shine, cold or heat, 52 weeks a year!
Guests may be struggling due to job losses or insufficient wages, to unavailable housing or
unaffordable housing, or to tragic circumstances that mean they won’t survive without help. That is what the
Gore Park Angels do for these struggling residents of
Hamilton.
Hot meals every Saturday morning was the goal when this effort was first begun in 2019. Since then it has grown to an average of 1400 guests every Saturday morning, and now includes much more than just hot food. A large supply of
take-home groceries are available to every guest.Please Note: due to forecasted construction plans for Gore Park, the event has recently moved to
Hamilton City Hall, just a block south and west of Gore Park. Same organizers, same hot meals and groceries, and same time every Saturday. -
