HALIFAX --
Moving 3,000 pounds of food is no easy task, but every month, the crew of HMCS St. John’s and Freedom Kitchen put all hands on deck to make it happen.
Last October, Freedom Kitchen, a volunteer kitchen based out of Lower Sackville, N.S., received a giant shipment of donated food.
They made it known that they needed help, and the crew of HMCS St. John’s answered the call of duty.
"Without them, we would struggle," said Freedom Kitchen co-chair Rainie Murphy, as a group of uniformed navy personnel unloaded food behind her. "To find volunteers available that early in the morning on Monday was really hard."
