We are proud participates of the After the Bell program. After the Bell support foodbanks to provide kids who are experiencing hunger with increased access to much needed nutritious food during summer when the need is higher due to many school centred support programs not being available. Each week we add fruit and vegetables to each healthy food pack. This week After The Bell, Aug 11, we added Apple, banana, tomatoes, blueberries and Nano yogurt drink. Food Banks Canada is the driver of this program and we one of the chosen recipients. We are very grateful to be able to offer this wonderful program to our clients during these difficult times. After the Bell is generously supported by fresh partners Subway Canada along with Air Canada Foundation, Bayer, McCormick Canada, Nestle, Quaker, Trucks for Change, Hershey Canada, Kellogg Canada, Mondelez, Thomas Large & Singer (TLS), International Paper, Janssen, SunRype and WestRock. Supported by food partners Basse Nuts, Clover Leaf Seafoods, Dare Foods Ltd., Kellogg Canada, PepsiCo, Saputo, SunRype Products. Ltd., Three Farmers and WOW Butter Foods.
