What a busy 3 months April, May and June have been!
We have held a celebration for Volunteer Appreciation Week; had an open house at the plant; had a choir/band sponsor a concert for us; we have hosted 23 groups (besides our regular volunteers) which have included a volleyball team, a youth group from Calgary, three small/life groups, two businesses that came out for a team building morning; 7 different school groups from Nobleford, Medicine Hat, Taber, Burdett, Vauxhall and a group with the Friendship Force of Medicine Hat with guests from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Wonder what July, Aug., and Sept. will bring?
In this issue:
- Second quarter of 2024
- Shipment in second quarter
- Renovated coffee room
- Community Foundation of
- SE Alberta Grants
- Med Hat Stampede
RENOVATIONS RESULT IN NEW COFFEE ROOM SPACE
As we continue to use the new building space, the space in the old building will be renovated. The first of these renovations was the coffee room. With more volunteers coming on a daily basis we want them to be comfortable; have space to visit and enjoy the mid-morning break. Thanks to all the volunteers that made this renovation possible.
Huge thank you to Shoemaker Drywall and Kenroc Building Materials who donated the tiles and grid for the ceiling.

SHIPMENTS
On April 18th we were able to supply 4 pallets (266 boxes, 2,246 bags) of dehydrated product to Faith Missions. They included these 4 pallets of food in their shipment, with clothes and other supplies to Ukraine.
