Bloor Lansdowne Community Dinner - BLCF Cafe Needs Volunteers To Help Feed The Homeless


Bloor Lansdowne Community Dinner - BLCF Cafe Needs Volunteers To Help Feed The Homeless

Bloor Lansdowne Community Dinner, renamed in December 2009 as BLCF Cafe, was established  in January, 2008 by and is  run under the auspices of Bloor Lansdowne Christian Fellowship Church. On Wednesday evening's  BLCF Cafe Community Dinner feeds and fellowships with over 100 homeless and marginalized people weekly, (over 5,000 a year). 

This is not a “soup kitchen’ program. It’s more like inviting neighbours over for dinner. The tables are set, the ambiance is friendly and we serve our guests at the table restaurant-style, hearty and homemade meals and tasty desserts, with a spiritual break in-between. Dinner is served from 6 to 8 PM. Throughout the dinner,there is live music: Folk, Blue Grass, Gospel, usually featuring our friend Terry Sywanyk, guitarist / vocalist and songwriter with the duo 'A Cup of Cold Water'.

BLOOR LANSDOWNE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP (BLCF): A Church with a vision in the heart of Toronto

A Church with a vision.Some 70 years ago, a group of believers embarked on a mission to bring the message of the gospel to the Bloor Lansdowne area in a relevant and meaningful way. The membership moved into a converted truck garage on Bloor Street near Lansdowne Avenue establishing the Church of the Crusaders. Now seven decades later the church, now known as Bloor Lansdowne Christian Fellowship, continues to meet the challenges of actively preaching and practicing the message of the gospel in relevant and meaningful ways to the local community, such as BLCF Cafe, a weekly Community Dinner feeding over 100 homeless souls, established in January, 2008 by and is run under the auspices of Bloor Lansdowne Christian Fellowship Church and a dedicated core of volunteers. The Bible says that a church is not mortar, brick and wood, but the body of believers who gather together to worship, pray, sing, teach and celebrate God’s path of salvation, through accepting Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross at Calvary.
