At the end of February 2022, Parker Street’s 3-tonne delivery truck officially retired due to failed brakes and old age. Without a vehicle suited for picking up and delivering mass amounts of fresh and packaged food items, Parker Street will not be able to operate sufficiently. The organization is asking its donors and the community at large to help raise another $70,000 in order to purchase a new truck for food pick-up and deliveries.
On March 5, Amgad Zaky spoke about about Parker Street Food & Furniture Bank’s work in the Halifax Regional Municipality and the need to confront food insecurity at the local level.
