LOCAL Services<br />
Friendship Feasts is a made in <strong>Faro</strong> program, it is not affiliated with Social Services, the <strong>Faro</strong><br />
Health Centre, or any government program. If you are able to make a meal for a family once in<br />
a while, please get yourself on the Friendship Feast list. You may get called once in 6 months.<br />
To receive meals, you just need to nominate yourself or someone who you know needs meals.<br />
Generally, Friendship Feasts provides meals when there has been a death or other hardship in<br />
the family, when someone is recovering from an operation or sickness, or when a family brings<br />
home a new baby. Getting involved in Friendship Feasts is a great way to get involved in our<br />
community and to meet people in town in a meaningful way.<br />
If you are not on the list, please call KARA WENT at 994-3114 to sign yourself up! We are<br />
always looking for new folks who are able to provide a meal.<br />
If you would appreciate meals or you would like to nominate someone for meals, please call<br />
KARA to set it up.<br />
THE SHED - FOLD AND CODE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Shed is available 24/7 for anyone who wants to leave and/or take good used<br />
clothing. Please do not smoke in the shed; the odour penetrates the clothes and<br />
smoking can be a fire hazard.<br />
Thanks to those who have taken time to fold and code clothes from the box. It’s a great<br />
help.<br />
A big thank you to whoever has been helping to keep <strong>The</strong> Shed neat and tidy. It is<br />
greatly appreciated.<br />
If anyone is willing to take some items to the Salvation Army on a trip to Whitehorse,<br />
please contact the Bakers at 994-2442. About once a month we remove some <strong>of</strong> the<br />
items that have been there for a while.<br />
Thanks.<br />
