George Shaw, who has been the author/investigator/ collector of the information in this pandemic-created need for helping our children and our adults who have lost jobs and much else, says there is little new. We do want to let people know each week where they can find kind help.
A new program has begun on the south side of Wake Forest. Rocky Top Catering is sending a truck out on Mondays and Thursdays providing a refrigerated family dinner to anyone who needs it. The truck will be parked at 1 Dannon Court in Ponderosa Park from 12 to 12:30 p.m. on those two days. It will then immediately move across Capital Boulevard to the Star Road Community at the corner of Star Road and Doris Lane and be there from 1:05 to 1:30 p.m.
Also, three Rolesville schools – Rolesville Middle, Rolesville High and Sanford Creek Elementary – serve hot lunches for the day and breakfast for the next day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The meals are available for all children 18 and under.
In Wake Forest the hot lunches and packages for breakfast the next day are served every weekday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Northern Regional Center on East Holding Avenue.
Hope House at 334 North Allen Road serves a meal Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. that is available for all children 18 and under.
