Since the beginning of Covid and shutdowns, the food cart in the main office at East Shore has been mostly shut down. HopeLink stopped accepting donations and I, as the food-cart person, stopped being able to manage the cart as I had for several years. There is a sign indicating that donations are no longer accepted on the cart. The occasional mistakenly left food has been taken to a small foodbank by Nicole.
To this point, no one has stepped up to take over ongoing food donations on a consistent basis. So, the cart is going away. This is the final notice to not randomly bring your food goods to East Shore. Of course, this doesn’t mean we can no longer have focused food donation drives if a specific ministry team wants to fully sponsor one. Feel free.
