GARY EGGERS WAS THE GUEST SPEAKER AT ROTARY THIS WEEK,
THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE COMMUNITY CUPBOARD ON WEST
PLATT STREET. HE HAS DONE THE JOB FOR AROUND A DOZEN YEARS.
THE CUPBOARD IS OPEN EVERY FRIDAY MORNING AND DISTRIBUTES FOOD TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS FOOD. VOLUNTEER GARY AND MANY OTHER
VOUNTEERS DISTRIBUTE TO ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO 200 PEOPLE WEEKLY.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED, JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE AT THEIR PLACE.
GARY IS GOING TO END DOING THE JOB DECEMBER 31ST. HE SAYS
SOME DRIVERS ALSO ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING SOON. MOST VOLUNTEERS ARE RETIRED. GARY SAYS MORE HELP IS NEEDED.
THEY WILL ALSO BE RELOCATING AS THE BUILDING HAS BEEN SOLD TO
BRAD DEERY. THE FORMER HARDEE'S BUILDING ACROSS FROM THE
FUNERAL HOME IS GOING TO BE USED UNTIL THEY FIND A LARGER
LOCATION. KMAQ WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN DISTRIBUTION WILL BE DONE THERE.
