Thanks to Paul Jones, UNDE 21008 for this report and photos ...
UNDE Local 1008 members Colleen Girard, Veronica Mann, Bob Bridgeman, Lee Prevost and Paul Jones (right to left) served lunch to Victoria BC's persons in need at the Salvation Army Sunday April 15th, 2012.
The local had an idea to somehow give back to the community in which they live. A motion was passed and an Outreach Committee was established. This committee immediately stepped into action and arranged a venue and food for a daily lunch which is provided by the Salvation Army on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday to those Victorian's in need. The patrons were pleased with the taste, full and some even took food out. They all were extremely grateful. After lunch the local members assisted in the cleanup and headed out feeling a good sense of accomplishment, a new realization for the plight of those in great need and the willingness to do it again. To quote a patron "It was the best meal I have had in a very long time!" Congratulations UNDE Local 1008 for their initiative!
