1. Food Support

Fill a bag. Feed a neighbour.

We're collecting non-perishable food donations for our local food bank, and we'd love your help!

Pick up a paper grocery bag at WLA, fill it with non-perishable food items, and bring it back the following Sunday.

You can also organize a food drive in your neighbourhood! We have flyers available to help you get started.

All food donations will go to our local food bank located at the Northwest London Resource Center.

3. Supporting Seniors

Help us share Christmas joy.

We're preparing Christmas gift baskets for seniors in our community who are lonely at Christmas time, to remind them that they are loved. 

We're collecting financial donations through WLA Cares to help cover the cost of preparing these baskets.

4. Supporting Families

CHRISTMAS MARKET
Through partnership with local churches West Park Baptist and Gateway, we host a Christmas Market, which provides practical help to families looking to buy gifts for their children at Christmas. 

Our support allows families to use their own money to purchase toys at a discounted rate. This not only helps us bless them, but also preserves their dignity as they contribute toward the cost rather than receiving a free handout. It also gives parents the joy of choosing the specific gifts they want to give their children. This year, we are sponsoring 75 kids in the community.

FOOD HAMPERS
This initiative also provides 40 food hampers to families in need in partnership with No Frills.

This is an opportunity for us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ - the greatest gift of all - with the families in our community.

How to Support This Initiative:

• WLA Cares funds go towards supporting this initiative.
• Pray that the families participating would feel the love of Jesus and recognize Him as the greatest gift of all.

5. Global Support

Sharing hope beyond our community.

20schemes seeks to build partnerships with local churches in order to plant and revitalize healthy, gospel-centered churches in Scotland’s schemes.

The schemes are strong and vibrant Scottish communities with a rich history, but are often hit hard by complex social problems. They also happen to be the places least likely to have a gospel church or indigenous Christians.

20schemes recruits church planters, gospel workers, and interns. But the real power in planting is when indigenous people come to know Jesus and join the team.

How to Support This Initiative:

You can support this initiative by donating financially to the WLA Cares fund; funds collected will be sent from WLA to this project.

6. Community Meal

There's a place at the table for you.

On Boxing Day, December 26, we're hosting a Christmas Dinner at WLA .

It will be a relaxed, potluck-style gathering with good food and great company.

We'd love your help spreading the word! Pick up an invitation at WLA and pass it along to someone who might appreciate a place at the table.

We're also collecting financial donations through the WLA Cares fund to help cover the cost of the turkeys, potatoes and stuffing.
