Rotary Club of St. Catharines Lakeshore members were pleased to do a site visit to the St. Catharines Food4Kids warehouse and distribution centre. During the visit, the club’s Food4Kids Committee Chair Marlene Mader and members presented Executive Director Amber Hughes with a cheque for $5000 in support of their efforts at local schools. Food4Kids provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 4-14 with limited or no access to food on the weekend. The packages are prepared by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday. School staff discreetly place a package into every participating student’s backpack, which helps to shield the child from any stigma associated with hunger or receiving food assistance. Each child in the home receives their own food package.
