Saturday Lunch Program

Highlands United Church and the North Shore Neighbourhood House, and in partnership with other organizations, share a common goal for a kinder, more equitable community. Below is a video presentation of what and how the Saturday Lunch Program provides to the community. Highlands is the “original and main school location” for the North Shore Tai Chi Spirit & Chinese Health Qigong, since 2008. The North Shore Neighbourhood House is where Sifu Josie has been training since 2002 and teaching since 2006. These long-time and important relationships is why our Tai Chi and Qigong group has been raising funds annually for the Saturday Lunch Program. The Saturday Lunch Feeding Ministry provides a healthy, abundant meal every Saturday at 1:00 pm at the North Shore Neighbourhood House, 2nd Street and St. Georges in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver. Each week they serve over 90 guests. The need for these services has grown significantly over the years. Funds raised once a year at our End-Of-The-Year Get together (in-person prior to Covid and since Covid On-Zoom) has raised money through our members for this wonderful program. Not only have we raised lots of money over the years, some of our Tai Chi & Qigong students generously volunteer their time and skills to help this Saturday Lunch Feeding Ministry on a year-round basis. It is a group effort and a worthy one. Volunteers are always welcome. If you have any questions about how to get involved with the Saturday Lunch Program, please don’t hesitate to be in contact with us and we will share with you who to call. We look forward to hearing from you.
