Maureen & John drove to Grand rapids to borrow a Tim Hortons Food Truck. They organized visits to Beaumont Troy, Children's Hospital Troy, Alliance Mobile Health, and Troy Police Dept. and brought everyone free sandwiches, coffee, and donuts. Even though their business has been reduced by the pandemic, they did this out of their own pockets, feeding a total of 1200 people over the course of six days. and they are not done yet...more surprise food giveaways to come next week.
