“The purpose behind Operation Outreach is to raise funds and help members of the community with food packs. When we had the stricter lockdown, we delivered food packs to families in need within our church and the community. We did the same during the riots in July last year,” he said.
Food packs delivered during the Covid-19 lockdown were funded by the church congregation and the markets have been run to raise funds to continue this work.
“These markets are designed to supplement our income so we can continue delivering food packs,” said Stillwell.
