A grassroots group in Sudbury that began to fill gaps for the weak through the pandemic is shutting down.
Avenue Outreach Sudbury (SOS) began in September 2020 to distribute clothes and snacks to the homeless and people in want when many providers had been unavailable. It operated from the downtown market location.
With the reopening of providers and organizations, volunteers say they did not need to duplicate providers and add that they deeply recognize the help of the neighborhood that helped them meet the wants of the weak for the previous 18 months.
"All of this was made potential by, No. 1, our volunteers. So any certainly one of our volunteers, we had a tonne of volunteers during the last couple of years," mentioned Melissa Poitras Belanger, the founder SOS.
"However partnerships with town and partnership with Tim Hortons, who was our sponsor all through this complete factor, and, after all, our neighborhood for donating the entire objects that had been handed out."
SOS the leftover donations of clothes are being distributed to the homeless and the PPE is being given to long-term care amenities throughout the neighborhood.
