The Rotary Clubs of St. Catharines and St. Catharines Lakeshore held a joint Food Drive at the end of February focusing on Sidekicks to assist the Food4Kids Program in the City of St. Catharines. Rotarians, friends, and neighbours responded with a joint donation of over 600 packages of Sidekicks (plus a number of assorted items - cereal, tuna, soup, etc.). Augmented by cash donations, the total value raised exceeded $1625 CND to help create food packages for the most “at need” elementary school-aged children in the community.
Food4Kids ensures that the community’s most impoverished children – a number that seems to be increasing daily - have access to healthy food each week, delivering food packages directly to the doors of the children in their program. Each package contains non-perishable food, fresh produce, and a gift card to purchase milk or other fresh items.
