Open Every Day. 30 • Eastern Shore Post • August 28, 2020 Sunday of Hope The 8th annual Sunday of Hope service, moved outdoors and recast to meet COVID-19 restrictions, attracted about 50 people to Cape Charles Central Park Sunday. The service, which honored family and friends who have died of cancer, raised funds for the American Cancer Society. Nine churches jointly produce the service, under the coordination of Cheli West. The service has been held in- side at Cheriton United Methodist Church in past years. Photos by Jim Ritch.

This overwhelming sup- port given to our students is yet another example of the commitment to make life better on the Eastern Shore. It is this type of effort which makes Northamp- ton County the ideal place to live, learn and excel,” said Superintendent Eddie Lawrence. In March, NCPS had to make an immediate deci- sion to close its schools for the remainder of the school year. This was an incredible shock to the entire school system – teachers, staff, students, and families.

In early April, NCPS had to close down its weekly food distribution due to a COVID-19 threat with one of its cafeteria staff. The food bank imme- diately stepped in, with the support of local com- munity members, and came to the high school to pass out food boxes until the school cafeteria could resume its normal activity. If the food bank had not stepped in to help, NCPS would have been in a very difficult situation as so many of its students rely on school as their primary source of food. NCPS would also like to personally recognize the Shore Delivery Corps. Shore Delivery Corps has been delivering food bank food and school food boxes, on a weekly basis, to over 100 students who were unable to get transportation to school distri- bution locations. It made such a difference with NCPS families and NCPS is so grateful for the support. “I look forward to the opening of school on Mon- day and a year full of promise and opportunity,” Lawrence said.
