A local non-profit is getting a helping hand from Community Living Chatham-Kent.
Each year, Community Living donates the proceeds from its Food Truck Crawl event to a worthy cause, and this year has selected ROCK Missions.
Jackie VanderLinden, Executive Lead with R.O.C.K., says the funds will be directed to the continued operation of the organization’s programs.
“This donation will be used towards the purchase of food and hygiene products for the drop-in centres and outreach services,” VanderLinden explains. “It helps us keep the doors open, and people nourished, which assists to build trust in hopes of connecting our friends to the resources they need.”
R.O.C.K., which stands for Reach Out Chatham-Kent, was founded in 2019 and now provides over 700 lunches through community outreach and at drop-in centres in Chatham and Wallaceburg.
“Community Living Chatham-Kent is proud to support these vital programs as they provide essential services and resources to vulnerable people in our community,” said Nicole Roeszler, Manager of Community Relations with CLC-K.
