Our church started both these Outreach programs in response to the need to support our neighbours who experience food insecurity in their home.  Opening in 1986, it was considered to be a short-term “band aid”, but grew to be the only “growth business” in Town!  The WHY is known, but the HOW, WHERE and WHO will be shared. 
I would love to see some RHUC’ers in the audience.
