Family
Services | Breakfast Program
Each
morning at 7:00 am volunteers roll into The Salvation Army Community
Centre to start the breakfast. The morning starts with the frying
of eggs and hash browns along with bacon and/or sausages with
toast. The team is usually ready to roll out with the supplies
in the Community Response Vehicle by 7:45 am. On arrival we
can see that there are people already waiting for breakfast.
The
program was started on January 7th 2002. We started with just
a few children, about 7 - 10 at the beginning, but by the end
of the first school year the numbers were up with anywhere from
40 to as high as 100 people coming to the vehicle for food on
any given morning. We now averag 60 people per day being fed
by The Salvation Army's Community Response Vehicle. This number
consisted of street youth and disadvantaged from the neighborhood.
