MPP Laurie Scott visited SIRCH’s Bistro and Bakery May 20.
She came to see what the organization has done with a $190,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant it received in April 2023 to help recover from COVID and build resiliency.
The community kitchen is just one of many initiatives made possible through the grant.
It was noted they were able to hire a kitchen coordinator and a food donation coordinator.
Executive director, Gena Robertson, said they’re now distributing 1,750 frozen meals a month and doing the Lunch is On Us program.
Scott commented on how SIRCH is “always finding ways of trying to help the community.”
