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. We are collecting for Food4Kids who provide healthy food for children with limited or no access to food each weekend. We are collecting both perishable and non-perishable items such as individual packets of oatmeal, apple sauce, fruit cups, soup, baked beans, cans of chili and stew, cans of tuna and salmon, raisins, pasta, cheese and cracker packs, cookies, fresh fruit and vegetables. Perishable items can be left in the downstairs fridge. God bless and a big heartfelt thank you for all your donations and your love expressed to those in need.C
