For years, a deteriorating GMC Savana has been the driving engine of the Benedict Labre House s food bank says Francine Nadler, the institution s clinical coordinator. (Antoni Nerestant/CBC)
It s rusty and deteriorating by the day, but make no mistake: this 2007 GMC Savana is the unsung hero of the Benedict Labre House s food bank in Saint-Henri.
In honour of its resilience, the vehicle has been given an affectionate nickname: Sweet Baby.
For years now, staff and volunteers have piled into Sweet Baby several times a week for pick-ups at Moisson Montréal, helping them prepare food baskets for their clients. That the food bank can t survive without its creaky vehicle illustrates the wider struggle that often accompanies helping those in need.
