Over $300,000

Last year, we distributed over $300,000 in food supplies in the West Island. $27,000 of that was in our school lunch program. It is amazing, when you sit down to crunch numbers, you see the magnitude of the need in our community.

We are in the process of talking with schools about their needs this year in regard to the school lunch program. So far we have 2 schools signed up for a total of 3o lunches a week. This will grow as the other schools request assistance.

I suspect that, with the current economic situation, the numbers could be higher than last year.

Thank you to all those who help us to meet the needs in our community. Together, we make a difference.

Peace,

K
