  This week’s After the Bell bags contained these extra fruit and vegetables – apple, orange, banana, cherry tomatoes, a yogurt tube, cheese string which was given to families in need yesterday. 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.
