It was a scorcher in Butler Park+35. A smaller crowd probably do to the heat but we still served 216 bowls of Chili, 362 Hard Boiled Eggs, 467 PBJ sandwiches, 300+ bottles of Water, Watermelon for dessert and to top it off Frenzies compliments of Zoe and Randy.
We have now been Helping this community for over 3 years, every Sunday we never missed a day. As with most organizations we would not exist without the help of others who donate. At this time I would like to give out a Special Thank You to Andy’s IGA on 142 street. Andy’s was our first large contributor by allowing us to have the extra bread to make the sandwiches plus buns and pastries every Saturday for over 2 years. There will only be one more pick up this coming Saturday as Andy’s will be closing there doors. Those of you who know Andy’s we have only 10 days left to enjoy this wonderful family operated store. I want to say lets flood this store this coming week and say thank you for your 60 years of service.
Thank you also to Rev. Dean Dowel St John the Evangelist Church, and Teresa Cloutier & Shiela Boretzki for their generosity to this group. Thank you to Colleen from Shoppers Drug Mart who for the past 2 years has contributed Hygiene products and also water. Thank you to everyone who brought clothes and hygiene products to the park yesterday. To everyone who contributes, Thank You, Lives are changing, you bring Joy and Hope to our most vulnerable.
Also to Hosanna Lutheran Church, Thank You for allowing us to use the kitchen and for all your help. without Hosanna Lutheran Church we probably would not exist.
