PIT Stop feeds 200 people despite fire at Kamloops United Church, will set up in parking lot moving forward
KAMLOOPS — A week after a fire ripped through the Kamloops United Church, the congregation’s PIT Stop meal program is back on their feet with plans of how they will continue to feed those in need.
Despite losing its kitchen and dining room area to fire, water and smoke damage, PIT Stop was able to serve 200 meals last Sunday, thanks to support from the community — including a food truck. It’s that community effort that will allow pit stop to not miss a Sunday dinner service.
“We had United Steelworkers show up with their food truck which helped a lot and we will continue like that,” said PIT Stop Coordinator Valentine Uwakwe. “Come next Sunday, we will be behind the Kamloops United Church building at the Kamloops YMCA parking lot at 3:30 p.m., so whenever you come, you will see us. That continues every Sunday until we figure out a more permanent or temporary base for now.”
