Looking back 52 weeks ago on a Friday, it was the last day we had clients inside our store and we miss you! We wish we could have you back in. We’re asking everyone to do their part and follow all the health safety protocols so that we can get back to NORMAL, allowing people to come in and shop, pick out the exact items they want. Thankfully we have an amazing group of volunteers led by Diane Gris who helps manage the intake to try and get clients just what they need and want for healthy, nutritious food supply. How time flies… the first couple months of 2020 we were all doing normal things, attending events in large groups at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre and getting ready for Spring. When Burlington shut down and declared a state of emergency, it was an eye opener and also scared most of us in our community – we immediately thought about our clients and what we can do for them going forward. Robin and team jumped in right away, declaring our doors were open to serve – but just a bit differently!

We could not be more proud of Robin Bailey, Diane Gris and Bernie Parent and our volunteers for their bravery through all of this. We also miss all our long-standing volunteers that helped us out pre-pandemic. Here’s to everyone getting vaccinated soon and seeing our clients return in 2021.
