Organizations around the Queen City are banding together to help out those in need, over the course of the summer.To help out residents in need, various community organizations across the city are banding together to hand out food this summer.“The need for feeding in the community, in our centres, it’s such a big deal right now.
The trend of children needing more help is one noticed by other community organizations such as Regina Education and Action on Community Hunger , which is partnering with the city to offer their version of a summer food program.“It’s really important to help fill that gap. A lot of the time schools are getting the lunches, but to be able to fill that gap in the summertime when kids don’t have the same programming, it’s really important,” said Matt Liesle, executive director REACH.
“We’re a hustling, bustling place full of volunteers. The challenge is raising enough funds, to feed all those kids, because we’re not funded by government, so our ability to feed over 17,000 people is thanks to everything from piggy banks to corporations,” Froh said.Baffin the polar bear dies at the Calgary ZooMP alleges Boissonnault’s former business partner ‘in contempt’ of parliamentary order
