Acadia Pantry
Every month since April 2019, the Acadia Food Pantry has provided free food to anyone experiencing food insecurity in our community. In 2021, the Pantry served an average of 110 people each month. With increasing inflation, more and more of our neighbours are finding it difficult to afford food for their families.
As a volunteer organization supported by residents of Acadia as well as Christ Moravian Church, Lutheran Church of Our Saviour and McDougall United Church, the Pantry depends fully on donations to operate. 100% of every donation is used to buy food and supplies and donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

We continue a monthly distribution schedule on the third Tuesday of the month, 12 noon - 12:45pm.

Prepared to Drown is a monthly recorded podcast & live event with a variety of exciting themes exploring the intersection of faith & the world we live in today.
Podcast Episode: “Drawn from the Headwaters”
Scripture has always invited us to imagine beyond the page. This episode explores biblical fan fiction as creative retellings, backstories, and “what-ifs” that generations have used to search for deeper meaning. From ancient midrash to modern queer and marginalized voices, how can imaginative storytelling sharpen our faith, challenge our assumptions, and reveal truths the text leaves unsaid?
Podcast features: Rev. Bill Weaver, Ricardo De Menezes, Rev. Joanne Anquist
