Thanks to all who bid on the Gingerbread Hall (see photos below). The inmates at Pittsburgh Institution made a scale model of St. George's Hall in gingerbread, and gave it to Lunch By George. The anonymous winner gave the Hall back to Lunch By George, and we will be offering it part of the goodies served with our coffee.

Our Christmas Dinner was its usual success, with the food prepared by Pittsburgh Institution inmates, and served by RMC cadets and many volunteers. A highlight was something not eaten: a gingerbread model of St. George's Hall where Lunch By George is held. These photos show the detail included, and the size of it.

Lunch by George is operated by Outreach St. George's Kingston (OSGK), a volunteer driven  non-profit registered charity. Lunch by George is a breakfast and lunch program and morning drop-in centre for some of Kingston Ontario's most vulnerable citizens. In operation since 1985, Lunch by George is the largest program of its kind in Kingston, and it is the only meal program in the area

which serves lunch five days per week year round. Over 5,000 soups are served at 10 a.m. and over 10,000 hot meals are served at 11 a.m. each year with demand rising. We also offer free clothing and a Friday morning art program. We are a warm, friendly and reliable space for support.

Please drop in!

LUNCH by George
needs your help!

As demand for meals has increased, funding has decreased! Although our operating costs are modest, the provincial government cancelled its operating grant to us in 1996. Since then, the program has stayed afloat due to generous support from private individuals and local businesses. For us to continue to providing hot meals every day, we need your continued support!

Come see our renovated space!
