Food for Faith

Faith offers our support to Gore Park Community Outreach through our Food for Faith program.

Who is Gpco?

Gore Park Community Outreach (GPCO) is a collaborative and inclusive outreach program that is 100% volunteer based. Their mission is to serve with kindness, compassion and without judgement.



They offer assistance to 1,000+ people every Saturday, under all weather conditions, at Gore Park in Downtown Hamilton, through the provision of hot meals, groceries, clothing and more!
