Volunteers are busy as bees, thank you volunteers! Thank you, Brantford candy man, compassion ministries and pop up sponsors and those who donated auction items and buy auction items. Thank you to those who make financial donations. Your kindness makes this possible. Thank you, Friendship house and harmony church, for sharing space. Some questions I’ve been asked When to line up? Only line up at time posted, not before we count how many people are in line then divide the food so everyone gets a fair share. Is this fist come first served? No, we help people accordingly, randomly Many people have deferring needs. We will often help people with infants, or people who have identified to us a need that requires being served sooner. We do not make a presumption on this; you need to share the need with us. Needs and disabilities are not always visible. At harmony church it is not mobility friendly but we will go shop for you and bring it up. At Friendship house it is mobility friendly. We are 100% smoke free environment, drug free, vape free, weapons free environment We ask you not to handle the products a volunteer will hand it to you Can I go to more than one pop up a week? We ask to you to choose one pop up a week. We also understand needs vary and sometimes you need more help. If you come to more than one pop up wait till others are served first. Are volunteers paid? No, our volunteers are not paid at this time. Do your volunteers get more than us? Volunteers get to shop 10 items before we serve as often there would not be any food left and our volunteers are patrons as well. Is the board of directors paid? No, our board of directors and bookkeepers are not paid. Do I need id? At this time, we generally do not ask for id. But given current complaints and multiple people from same household using the service we may have to change this. It is under review. Please we are strongly asking you to mind the rule of one person per household to access services to keep it fair and plenty of food for all. Please bring your own bags.
