Important Information About the LIFE Community Project's "Not Just A Food" Program

The LIFE Community Project is dedicated to providing support for individuals in need through its "Not Just A Food" program. This program offers a free lunch service every Tuesday and Friday, along with the delivery of essential items to those who are part of the program. The goal is to assist individuals who may face mobility challenges or other barriers that prevent them from accessing existing meal and support services.

Currently, the focus is on those with mobility issues or other difficulties preventing access to regular meal programs. We plan to expand the initiative over time, but for now, we are prioritizing the needs of those who need extra assistance.

Important Details for Program Participants

1. Respect is Key
   The LIFE Community Project is driven entirely by donations and volunteers, and we expect all participants to be polite and courteous. We will not tolerate rude behaviour, foul language, or disrespect toward volunteers or staff. Repeated offences can result in removal from the program. Our volunteers and team members dedicate their time to serving those in need, and we ask that everyone show respect for their efforts.

2. Delivery and Availability
   The program is designed to support those who have difficulty getting to other services. Participants must be available to accept deliveries on the designated days (Tuesdays and Fridays). If you are unable to be present to receive your lunch, we offer options to reschedule, but consistent missed deliveries can result in removal from the program. We ask that participants respect the time of our volunteers and delivery drivers.

3. Donations and Necessities
   As a donation-driven initiative, the LIFE Community Project cannot guarantee specific items or necessities with each delivery. We work hard to source donations and prioritize those most in need. The LIFE Community Partners and administrators make the final decision on what items will be delivered, based on need and availability. Volunteers involved in the delivery process do not have control over these decisions.

4. Program Enrollment and Sign-Up
   Participants must sign up to be included in the program. If you do not have access to a regular address, there is a sign-up form available to ensure that your lunch and necessary items are set aside for you. Please note that if you do not show up to pick up your lunch, your ability to access the program may be affected. Front Porch Mentors will decide if and when you can rejoin the program in such cases.

5. Future Plans
   The "Not Just A Food" program is only the beginning of a larger initiative to support the homeless and marginalized populations. With responsible participation, this program will offer more than just meals, expanding into further areas of support. The LIFE Community Project is committed to increasing its impact, ensuring that more individuals in need can benefit from the support provided.

6. Respect for the Program’s Structure
   We want to be clear that Just Oshawa, as a marketing and awareness tool, does not handle the day-to-day operations of the program. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to info@LIFECommunityProject.com, and the appropriate person will connect with you. Please respect the program’s structure and guidelines. Inappropriate actions or communication will be addressed, and those who disregard the program’s policies may be removed.

In Conclusion

The LIFE Community Project is committed to making a difference in the lives of individuals who need support. However, to ensure the program’s success, respect and cooperation from all participants are crucial. Together, we can make a positive impact in our community.
