PIT Stop program helps people in transition escape the heat for Sunday rib feast
KAMLOOPS — While some people are feasting on a rack of ribs at Ribfest, the PIT Stop campaign aims to lend a helping hand to the community for their free rib feast.
“We know we have RibFest in town so we have people here who can’t necessarily afford to go buy ribs at the Ribfest and be a part of that so that’s kind of the incentive behind of that to give some really beautiful food to people who would be able to afford that,” says Tomas Bijok, PIT Stop Coordinator.
PIT Stop which stands for “People in Transition” provides a hot meal to guests who may be seniors, youths, families, or people who may be marginalized or homeless.
