O'Connor Associates in the Community

September 10, 2007

On Thursday, August 30, a group of about 12 from the Oakville office staff brought food, good cheer and a spirit of service to Kerr Street Ministries, a local ministry for the most vulnerable of this community (www.kerrstreet.com). The 50 or so people who came for the weekly barbecue at a small park in central Oakville enjoyed burgers and sausages, served with salads and cold drinks, all provided by O’Connor. Many returned for seconds, and all were delighted with the ice cream and popsicles served for dessert on this particularly hot day.

What an opportunity it was for our staff to not only serve the food together, but to mingle and talk with those who came to be fed … many smiles were seen and laughs heard during the course of the meal. After we were given a tour of the Kerr Street Ministries facility, we became aware of the great number of people who are in need in the community in which we work, and how important it is for us to offer our support in this place, which provides so many wonderful services to those of all ages who are in need.
