The NSUN breakfast program is the brainchild of one of our members who enjoys helping people in a very concrete way – with hot coffee and a hearty, homemade breakfast sandwich on Sunday mornings.
Since November 6, 2022, the ‘breakfast program crew’ (usually NSUN members Heather, Helen and Susan) have gone out – rain, sun or snow – to deliver as many as 30 breakfast sandwiches and coffees to those camping in Stadacona and Topaz Parks. This has proved to be a great way to build new and strengthen existing relationships with campers and stay in touch with them and their evolving needs and concerns.
NSUN has learned that most campers like lots of sugar and cream with their coffee (in fact, one camper just says that she’d like a cup of milk and sugar with a splash of coffee!) and that the friendly conversation and consistency is almost as welcome as the coffee and food.
The plan is to continue the program until the last Sunday of winter (March 19, 2023) but the crew will consider whether to extend that based on the weather forecast for late March/early April.
