“We want to feed people with dignity,” Red Cedar co-executive director Liz Maze said . The organization was founded in April by people with exper- ience in hospitality and community organizations to help those who lost jobs and work hours as a result of the pandemic. First located in the old Willie’s Bakery and Cafe at 537 Johnson St., it temporarily used the kitchen at the former Comfort Inn before relocating to its current roomy premises late last year, at a discounted rental rate, Maze said. Since starting up, it has provided about 75,000 meals, she said. Today, the organization has 12 staff and 450 volunteers, and has received support from local and provincial governments.
