Many Hands Resource Centre in Morden brought the community together Dec. 9 for its annual Christmas season meal, which filled the hall at the Morden Alliance Church. “This event was open to everyone. It was simply our way to bring people together,” said executive director Mariyam Tsygankova. “We know Morden is home to many different cultures, and this was our way to celebrate that diversity and also our community support. This was also a chance for us to say thank you and celebrate the season together.”
