Toronto’s Evangel Hall raised almost $200,000 on Feb. 6 as over 150 people glittered through the halls of Toronto’s Royal York Hotel at the second annual Compassionate Hearts Valentine’s Gala.
All proceeds from the event will support the mission’s health and dental clinic, which provides free treatment to Toronto’s poor and homeless. The clinic costs almost $100,000 a year to run and relies heavily on personal donations, grants, and support from various foundations. The Hall is funded largely by congregations, but also receives funding from Toronto presbyteries. — C. Purvis
