Welcome to
St. Andrew's Dew Drop Inn.

We are a safe, warm and welcoming place where hungry people can come to eat with no questions asked.

Our task is a simple one: We feed hungry people. Our goal is to build a community of care where can come together as neighbours and friends to support each other. To accomplish this, we rely on a great number of caring volunteers - church groups, service clubs, schools, organizations, businesses and individuals - who give of their time and money so that we can provide a hearty midday meal 365 days a year.

We are located in the north end of Thunder Bay at 292 Red River Road, across from Waverly Library. If you are hungry, you are welcome here. And if you want to learn more about us, you are invited to explore this site.

Husky Rebate Program and Quality Market Save-a-tape make it easy for YOU to help!

June 11th, 2010

The Husky Community Rebate Program is a great way for you to help the Dew Drop Inn. All you have to do is get one of our Husky Rebate Cards by calling us at 345-5202. Then present your card at the point of sale at any Husky, Mohawk or Husky House Restaurant and the Dew Drop Inn will receive a 2% rebate of the total purchases. That’s it. Husky tracks the value of our purchases, calculates the appropriate rebate and sends cheques on a quarterly basis, provided we earned a minimum $50 rebate.

Another way you can help is  through Quality Market’s ‘Save a Tape’ program. Shop at Quality Market, save your till receipts and drop them off at St. Andrew’s Dew Drop Inn. We’ll  return them for a cash refund which is a percentage of the receipt totals.

Just two more ways that YOU can help Feed the Hungry here in Thunder Bay.
