SHIFTING GEARS - NEWSLETTER FOR AUGUST
● PUT IN PARK – Home visits (hamper deliveries) shut down in August, to allow for training of new Dispatchers, sorting/re-organizing of files and binders, re-stocking of pamphlets and more. It’s a Green light and a go for September
● SHIFTING GEARS – With home visits shut down for the month food shopping was replaced by storeroom maintenance, rotating of items and restocking of shelves
● IN NEUTRAL – Cedar Elementary School’s Food Pantry Program shut down over summer break. Our Shopping/Delivery team hit the road in September
● WARP DRIVE – With the opening up of units and full staffing at Rose and Eagle Harbour, our Welcome Kits Program has been operating at high speed for many months. August was no exception, with 8 prepared kits and food hampers delivered to both buildings. These went to single women, and women with children (including mothers with newborns)
● GEARING DOWN ON LOGGING ROADS – An annual trip to Tahsis and Zeballos was made over the summer, to observe and evaluate our food distribution operations. A side trip was also made to the Freight Services building at the government dock in Gold River (storage for our food to Kyuquot, via M/V Uchuck III).
● IN HIGH GEAR – Second Chance Recovery House for men has been operating at full capacity in 2024. The Downtown Community Kitchen has been serving over 300 Sunday lunches each month. We supply monthly purchases of high protein meats to both, 12 months of the year
● LIFE IN THE FAST LANE – With crash helmets on, our Adopted Family is gearing up for September, with a return to school and out-of-school activities for the boys, the Strong Start program for mom and daughter, and hopefully full time employment for the father. The future for this family is looking busier, and brighter
Thank you Parishioners, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus for being there for us over the summer, through your Silent Begging donations, blue collection envelopes, your food/household donations, and last, but not least, your prayers.
With God at the wheel, and with your support we will go far in serving a great many.
God bless you, and stay tuned for more news in September!
