KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The build
site is a much quieter place now that most of the work on the house is done and
nightfall has hit, but there is one area of the build site that continues to
attract traffic-- the food tent.
"There are still
workers on site and we were told to carry on as normal and have our normal
meals. Right now on the site we have hamburgers, pizza and some other deliveries
coming in," said Gay Lyons, the Food Coordinator for the
build.
The deliveries keep on
coming. Burger King, Krispy Creams, Pizza and Moe's. The options are endless,
even though there are a lot less people on site today than there were during the
past week.
"As of now, we have
plenty of food for anybody who wants to come to the tent. Everybody has been
very generous in this community. Almost anybody that we have asked for food,
gave us food and we've had people just show up with cars with food. It's been
great," explained Andie Ray, a Food Team Member at the
build.
Food volunteers
continue to brave the weather to deliver food and drinks to whatever workers are
left on site.
"With the weather, it
has really changed the way they finish things out on the site. We're just going
to be prepared and have as much food available and take it down to the site if
we need to. The trick is to try to keep it warm and keep it dry. We're jut going
to roll with the punches and see what happens," said Becky Hancock, another Food
Team Member.
Any leftover food is
being brought to Second Harvest, so nothing goes to waste.
