Five volunteers handed out groceries in conjunction with a weekly dinner for those in need. We collected canned and dry goods, and some perishables were handed out to over 100 recipients in a one-hour period. The most popular items were toilet paper, pasta, rice, juices, chips and pop. Many thanks to the numerous donors who helped pull it all together. Each recipient was allowed to choose four items. Leftovers were handed out without any restrictions at the end of the event. We also held a fund door prize that everyone was entered into. We thank the Neighbourhood Small Grants and Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives, for supporting and allowing us to do this project. It helped a lot of people.
