.MCEC church helps Montreal’s homeless.

Montreal has been hit with unseasonably cold weather this month, and a Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC) congregation is doing what it can to help members of the city’s homeless population get by.

Hochma church is the home to Care Montreal, an outreach program that opens its doors to around 30 people every night. The program gives folks food to eat and a place to sleep.

Over the last year, volunteers from Mennonite Disaster Service and various MCEC congregations travelled to Montreal to help renovate Hochma’s basement so that it can house Care Montreal.
