As COVID-19 puts strain on truckers, this truck stop is offering free meals

Crystal Blair's truck stop in Glenholme, Nova Scotia. A Nova Scotia woman is offering truckers free meals out of her truck stop in order to support the workers keeping Canada’s supply chain running during the pandemic.

But most of the roadside comforts they rely on have been closed due to COVID-19, leaving many drivers without a way to fill their stomachs along their routes.Because of this, Crystal Blair has pledged to keep her truck stop open no matter what in order to help these unsung heroes. Blair is keeping her rural operation running with food donated by her neighbours. Every day, she cooks up meals to offer to drivers passing through — and she’s not charging them a cent.Blair knows how important it is for drivers to have a place they can count on along the road.

God bless you and your neighbors! You are the definition of family ❤️

The Salvation Army in partnership with the Government of Newfoundland and Marine Atlantic is providing meals to truckers travelling to and from the ferry crossing in Port aux Basques as all the local restaurants along the route have been closed.

Correction- 💯 of goods in this country travel by truck. From rail to a truck, from air to a truck....

This is such a great thing for the truckers. This has been such a hard time for them. Also shout out to all for doing this and for the people. Without them I can't even imagine right now.
