5th Annual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser
Heart of Ruth Mission is hosting our 5th Annual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on January 13th, 2018 in Sudbury! This year will be bigger and better than ever! Mark your calendars friends 🙂 All proceeds will directly support our Transition House project for the kids living at Rainbow House Children's Home. According to the Kenyan Government, when an individual turns 18 they must leave the orphanage. Most of our kids at 18 years of age are not yet completed Form (Kenyan equivalence of Highschool). Heart of Ruth Mission wants to create a safe and secure place for these vulnerable kids to transition into adulthood and eventually independant living. The young adults will live in this home until they are finished education and can stand on their own two feet. The night starts at 4pm at 430 Westmount Ave (in the Westmount Plaza) under the Christian Horizons sign. From there you are welcome to check out some handmade Kenyan items for sale, and talk to team members about our transition home project as well as our Child Sponorship Program. Live entertainment will begin at 5pm (artist to be announced). This dinner is a drop in setting, welcoming guests anytime between 4-8pm. As always, we will have a variety of sauces to choose from (meaty, vegetarian, and vegan!). Your $10 ticket includes a plate full of spaghetti, slice of garlic bread, caesar salad, a drink and an entrance to the door prize! We welcome large groups, if you know of a large group in advance we just ask that you let us know so we can reserve the appropriate table for you! We cannot wait to see you again in January! Thank you again Sudbury for your continued support of our mission. We could never accomplish what we have if it wasn't for...
