Many thanks to the Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association and Gordon Food Service for so quickly fulfilling their promise to donate 22 cases of coffee to the Main Street Project. The coffee, valued at roughly $ 1,000, was dropped off this week at 75 Martha Street. This is also where you can deliver coffee or whatever to help the homeless in Winnipeg. And Rob Young of Writers & Rockers Coffee, who kicked off this whole coffee drive with his generous £ 50 donation, tells me his java has also arrived at MSP. Rob says that works out to 2,097 cups of coffee or about a week for us writers LOL!
