Happy Halloween!
Did you know that 1 in 5 parents said they have skipped meals to
ensure there was enough food to feed their children? And that in 2012, 14% of
food banks ran out of food making them powerless to support families who simply
didn't have enough to feed their families?
This fall at Broadview the H.E.L.P club is holding a halloween themed
food drive to support our local Ottawa food bank. The collection of
non-perishable food items will run from Friday Oct. 18th until Nov. 1st. All
items can be sent to school with your child. Items in high demand are: rice,
flour, pasta, canned fish and meats, stew and soup, canned or dried beans,
canned fruit and vegetables, 100% fruit juice, canned or powdered milk, cereals,
tomato sauce, peanut butter, baby products ( formula, diapers, baby food).
Thanks for your support!
The HELP club, Mlle Amanda and Mlle Coughtrey!
