The Surrey Urban Misson is providing a turkey dinner Monday evening to its over 200 guests experiencing homelessness on Thanksgiving.

Janet Brown, the charity’s director of communications, says its four shelters around Surrey provide three meals per day to guests, but Monday’s fare features all the trappings, including turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.

“It is such an honour and privilege to be able to serve our guests and provide them with a little bit of kindness and joyfulness and happiness, especially at this time of year, especially on Thanksgiving Day,” said Brown.

“We also have volunteers coming in to help serve the meals, so it’s not like a cafeteria style. Our guests will be sitting down. And they will be served a hot meal.”
