Locations: Cornerstone Foundation Soup Kitchen, South Park Inn, Saint Elizabeth House & Friendship Center
Before the event:
This week’s collection was interesting because with challenges still occurring we got some help from those interested in what we’re doing as well as making some friends along the way. It was just Ashlei and myself doing the shelter run because the rest of our team had things going on. So Ashlei and I headed to Dunkin and started getting ourselves set up for packaging donuts. Seeing that it was a bit of a slow night, we offered to those working if they would like to help us package the donuts. When Joyce joined in we all started talking about life and work which made the time pass so quickly that we were out the door before 10 pm with the car loaded up. The total count for this event was: 404 sweet treats (this count includes the munchkins as well).
Day of the Event:
The following morning started off a little bit rough but we had a good laugh. The first stop was the Cornerstone Foundation Soup Kitchen, which we brought the treats in so Ashlei got to see what the soup kitchen looks like on the inside. Next was the South Park Inn and finally we went to St. Elizabeths House and Friendship Center and we noticed others dropping off donations as well. St. Bernards Park also had people serving hot meals to the homeless and those who needed them. We hope to see you at our next event on 04/3/2021.
Until next time, Stay H.O.P.E.F.U.L.
