克利夫蘭首次由Food Bank 贈送食物活動順利結束

〔本報訊〕6月3日,克利夫蘭第一次由Food Bank 贈送食物,之前因爲疫情,停止了每月一次送食物活動。當日Food Bank 購買了非常新鮮的蔬菜水果,一箱一箱打包好,送到唐人街健身房門口,已經等候在那里的義工開始幫忙卸貨和放到車里再繼續送給160戶人家。

   這次贈送食物,大家配合默契,很短的時間就完成任務,伊利華報在現場採訪,主辦者表示這樣的發送簡單省時省力,比大家排隊拿食物方便多了。
   隨後本報記者跟着市政府工作人員開車看到他們把一盒盒食物送上門,還把28箱蔬菜水果送到常靑公寓,場面很感人。大家感受到人間的溫暖,對組織這項工作的市政府工作人員陳女士表示感謝。
Friends Who Have Hearts of Gold
Due to COVID-19, our monthly food giveaway at Sterling Recreation Center was cancelled for April and May. However, knowing the needs of area seniors, I was concerned. When I was notified that the food giveaway would resume for June, I was elated, but how are we to keep everyone safe when weaning masks, social distancing and other precautions must be maintained at all times?
Seniors are the vulnerable population, so a solution needs to be found fast. Fortunately, I have friends who have hearts of gold because they came to help me delivery 175 boxed food to our seniors from east to west of Cleveland in 14 zip codes areas: (44102, 44103, 44105, 44106, 44108, 44109, 44111, 44113, 44114, 44115, 44120, 44127, 44135 and 44144).
I am grateful for these friends:

Because of these kind and generous folks, seniors received their boxed food at their front doors/porches without any fear. No Contact Is the Safest Way for All because COVID-19 still exist among us. We thank these volunteers.
