The mustard seed is described in the gospel of Matthew, “A man takes a mustard seed and sows it in his field. It is the smallest of seeds, but when it grows up, it is the biggest of all plants. It becomes a tree, so that birds come and make their nests in its branches.”
The Mustard Seed Fund was established in hopes the fund will grow like the mustard seed and provide support and nurturing for children and youth affected by poverty, just as the mustard seed plant provides a favourable environment for the birds.
All gifts to this fund will be pooled and invested with the generated income distributed as grants to local registered charities. As the original gift remains invested, your contribution will continue to benefit our community in perpetuity.
