Volunteers at Bridge Street United Church in Belleville have been making sure that the most vulnerable in the region have had access to free meals, evening since the start of the pandemic.
Their “Inn from the Cold” winter hot meal program will be continuing for the foreseeable future.
Representatives note in an update on Friday, that since the end of the March they have provided over 30,000 take-away lunches and over 4500 frozen dinners.
This is apart of two programs that volunteers run.
Folks in need of a meal can go to the church for a take-away package every day. Free meals are distributed from 11:30 am to 1 pm.

To say that 2020 has been a bit of challenge for most of us, both mentally and in many cases financially is a bit of an understatement. Thankfully in times of great need there is often an even greater showing of charity towards those who are suffering. Throughout 2020 the media has carried countless doom and gloom stories about the ongoing pandemic; however for all the bad stories it is heartening to realize that there have been just as many if not more uplifting and feel good stories about people looking after each other with some form of kindness or charitable act.
