Food for Families
Overview: Help end hunger in communities across North America. Many people in our communities are struggling through hardship and unable to provide food to their families. Food for Families ensures that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night. Our Knights of Columbus council supports and operates a food pantry at Stella Maris church. The food pantry services families in need throughout the parishes of St. Anne's, St. Augustine's and Stella Maris. We are very thankful for the tremendous community and parish support that we have received for this program. Your generosity is what makes this program so successful. For more information contact Donald Blacquiere at 902-569-8536. Funding for the food bank has been provided in part by community grants from Reaching Home PEI and The John Howard Society We would like to thank all of the businesses, community groups, schools and individuals who provided donations of cash or in kind goods in support of our foodbank over the past year especially; The Nieuwhof family, Rustico Lions club, Cymbria Lions club, The Food Mart, Gallant's Clover farm, Gulf Shore School and Ecole St. Augustin. As we welcome the promise of a New Year and better times ahead, we know that the requirement to feed families in need will go on and we look forward to your continued support. God bless you all. |
