The Graham government is coming to the aid of the financially strapped Romero House soup kitchen — Premier Graham made a stop at the soup kitchen this afternoon along with Social Development Minister Kelly Lamrock and Saint John area M-L-A’s to present a ten thousand dollar cheque. Romero House executive director Carolyn McNulty says the donation will help to provide a financial buffer.
Premier Graham says he’s hoping the provincial contribution will help to provide an incentive to Saint Johners to rally around the soup kitchen. Meantime — a finance committee has been formed and is meeting Thursday to draw up a fund raising plan.
