Summer time is the most challenging season for families in need of food support. Kids are out of school and the breakfast and lunch programs that so many families rely on are on hiatus for the summer. Summer time is also the slowest time of the year for food donations and the greatest time of need for the Food Bank. Classes at Clinton are currently participating in this food drive. The Greater Vancouver Food Bank requests that you you bring things from the top 10 most needed Items:
- hearty stews or chili
- canned chicken or turkey
- canned fish
- canned black beans, chickpeas, or kidney beans
- natural peanut butter
- brown rice or oats
- whole wheat pasta or couscous
- canned vegetables
- canned fruit
- money donation
Division 1 students will be going classroom to classroom collecting food items and money donations starting on May 13th. The last day to donate will be May 30th.
Thanks for supporting The Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Your donations are much appreciated.
