Food4Kids Fact: 10% of school-aged children in Halton live at or below the poverty level and come to school hungry. The smallest kind, loving gesture can have a lasting impact on a child.

An updated list of requested items includes apple sauce cups, tuna, mini boxes of raisins, boxes of oatmeal sachets, soup, baked beans, granola bars (nut free), Knorr Sidekicks pasta, Uncle Ben’s rice packets, and grocery store gift cards. God bless and a big heartfelt thank you for all your donations and your love expressed to those in need.
