Canadian Food for Children - October Requests
Canadian Food for Children operates with volunteers – unlike most charities there are no wages or overhead expenses. Food (non-perishable)is the greatest need, but donations of good quality items and clothing, especially children’s clothing are also accepted. Each month we highlight additional needs.
October: Food (rice, pasta, oatmeal, milk powder, crackers, canned tomato products, salt, canned meats) good used clothing & shoes / Hygiene items / Household (dish detergent, string, candles, scrub brushes, tents, large tarps, dish towels, linens)
Donations can be dropped off in the Lenhard Room Cupboard. Your gifts of love will go to the poorest of poor, via established missions in many countries. Thank you
Milk Bags being collected
