Just hours after the Salvation Army cut the ribbon for the launch of the Northumberland Community Mobile Outreach Program it was making a difference in Port Hope on Thursday, April 4, 2019.
“It is needed because our cheques only go so far and it’s hard to feed ourselves good, fresh items like fruit,” said Nicole Losier who lives at Greenwood Towers which was the first stop for the Mobile Outreach Program.
Losier didn’t know the mobile unit was coming on Thursday, but when she found it she was very appreciative.
“I really appreciate them coming and bringing us some extra food and helping us through the month.”
Once people are aware of it Losier said there will be more people coming out.
After stopping at Greenwood Towers the next stop was by Memorial Park where Port Hope Mayor Bob Sanderson came out to tour the mobile unit and greet the organizers.
