Volunteers provide free meals to those in need

There was strong demand when another weekly “free food” initiative commenced in Millicent on Thursday.

The newly-formed Millicent Shares a Plate group provided 60 refrigerated serves of spring vegetable minestrone soup and bread rolls for those in need at the Millicent IGA supermarket.

A variety of home-made soups will continue to be offered by teams of volunteer cooks on the coming Thursdays.

This community outreach act is in addition to the 60 free meals which are provided each Monday night at this venue by supermarket manager and New Heavan restaurant chef Sukhi Dhaliwal.

Millicent Shares a Plate was formed three months ago and comprises dozens of volunteers from Millicent and district who are arranged on a roster.
