After The Bell

The Storehouse received 480 After the Bell child-friendly, nutritous food packs on Monday from Food Banks Canada. Food Banks Canada also gave us $1200 to add fresh produce each week to the packs. This Wednesday we started to give out the packs to families in need. The food packs allows young people to take home food to fill the gaps when other food supports – like the school breakfast or lunch programs are not available. Food Banks Canada gave us 8 weeks worth of food packs with the understanding that many kids don’t have school-based food program support during the summer. After the Bell is generously supported by fresh food sponsor Subway Canada. Lead partner Loblaw, Supporters – Kellogg Canada, Nestle, McCormick Canada and Mondelez and Sponsors CIBC, Hershey Canada, Quaker, The Global Foodbanking Network, West Rock, Sysco. Food Partners are Clover Leaf Seafoods, Dare Foods Ltd., Kellogg Canada, MadeGood Foods Canada, Mondelez International Inc., Organic Meadow, Ozery Family Bakery, Pepsi Co and Wowbutter Foods.
