Emmanuel invites all post-secondary students to join us for a free dinner on Tuesdays during the fall and winter school terms.

Student Dinner was founded by Emmanuel member Betty Risto in 2004, and volunteers from the congregation have kept the tradition alive for 21 years now, even serving dinners to-go during the pandemic. In the video below, volunteers Paul and Catherine Scambler talk about the history and purpose of the dinner. Enjoy!
