Our Place is preparing to feed over 1,000 people a Christmas meal tomorrow (Tues). The organization says thanks to the extra support of donors they will be able to serve 450 kg of turkey, 225 kg of potatoes, 110 kg of stuffing, 100 kg of vegetables, 115 litres of gravy, 25 kg of cranberry sauce, 125 pies and over 1,500 cups of coffee.
Local politicians, community leaders and volunteers will help serve the meals to Greater Victoria's homeless and most vulnerable from 11 am to 1:30pm.
Executive director Don Evans says Christmas is all about family -- and for those living in poverty, the staff at Our Place are the closest family they have.
