Thank you to Glen Wallis and all the volunteers that came out today to help make stuffed peppers, chili, butternut squash soup, carrot soup and apple crumble for our food bank clients. It was great meeting all of you and working with you today. Thank you to the farmers and gardeners who donated the produce and to everyone who took the time to go and pick the produce. It is so nice to be able to offer healthy choices to our clients, thanks to the generosity of all who donated either their time, ingredients or supplies.
