A local Bria Communities seniors homes wanted to show their support for the staff at 91原创 Lodge by sending along the ultimate comfort food.
On Thursday afternoon Bria sent gourmet soups to 91原创 Lodge, the not-for-profit long term care centre that has been hard hit by the coronavirus.
鈥淚n 91原创, many of the seniors living communities share a special relationship, we jokingly refer to as 鈥榗o-opertition鈥�,鈥� said Janice Miller, with Bria Communities. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a bond of friendship, and when we see our friends having a tough time, we want to help.鈥�
Working with local, plant-based restaurant, Leef and Stem, staff from Magnolia Gardens and Sunridge Gardens delivered 100 bowls of soup. The soup came with crackers with a message attached for the staff, 鈥淲e think you鈥檙e SOUPER! Stay strong.鈥�
鈥淪taff at long-erm care centres like the ones at Magnolia Gardens and 91原创 Lodge are experiencing lots of challenges. The days are long exhausting,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淲e thought about sending flowers or baking, but it seemed like the best idea was to send something that would help staff stay strong and healthy.鈥�
Kyle Sanker, marketing communications specialist at 91原创 Lodge, responded to the delivery with an email of thanks, 鈥淸We] just finished giving out all the soups, and man, they were a huge hit.鈥�
Magnolia Gardens and Sunridge Gardens sent a little liquid support to the staff at 鈥攊ndividual bowls of freshly made, organic, vegetarian soup from Leef and Stem in 91原创. A little bit of encouragement to let them know we think they're SOUPER!
