“The Stomper” pitched in at this GREAT event last week… Proud of my community and hats off to Jerry and Staff of Blackville Value Foods…..
That was such a great offer of kindness. GOD bless him.
This is why I am and I always will be so proud to call Blackville my home. I may live away in Alberta but Blackville is my home….. So proud of you and I am so glad that everyone is alright.
What a super nice gesture this was by Jerry, his staff, and all the volunteers! The food was good and hot and left that “warm fuzzy feeling” in my heart!
We live in a great little town, with wonderful people. Many of the volunteers here, were without power as well.
A very great turn out. That is what it is all about… people helping people in the time of power outages or what ever… thanks to Geri for thinking about this, but as you know Geri does a lot for the community. And to ALL that helped in any way… the ladies were not long putting this all together.
