An Ottawa soup kitchen has received an outpouring of support after a group of truckers protesting in the city allegedly harassed staff and assaulted a homeless man on Saturday.
Located blocks away from Parliament Hill, the Shepherds of Good Hope shelter found itself in the thick of the protests this weekend."The incessant honking and noise from trucks, caused significant anxiety and distress to our staff and shelters residents," the nonprofit said in a statement on Sunday.
Hundreds of truckers drove their giant rigs into the Canadian capital Ottawa on Saturday as part of a self-titled"Freedom Convoy" to protest vaccine mandates required to cross the US border. Word soon got out about the incident, and since then, Shepherds of Good Hope has seen around 10,000 individual donations pour in. "We are quite a small nonprofit, we're not used to this level of donations," Cox said.
