Please consider donating to the food drive at Humber's Child Development Centre (HCDC).
Bins will be at the front entrance and inside hallways until December 13.
The children will be involved in the counting and sharing of our goal - they have already started to decorate the boxes. With the increased rise of food bank use, we understand that some of our own families may be in need, so once items are counted, we are going to have a bin for families that they are welcome to take from.
The donated food will be dropped off at the closest fire station or the community police may come by to pick it up and they will deliver it to the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
