 St. Catharines Food4Kids Executive Director Amber Hughes noticed a Facebook posting that The Grantham House restaurant (14 Secord Drive, St Catharines) was offering a free meal to any child that needed one, no questions asked. She reached out to see if they could work together to get a meal for the kids in the local Food4Kids program. A win-win for all concerned - supporting a local restaurant that could provide a meal to all of the Food4Kids families, but at a much lower cost than Food4Kids would normally incur.It certainly turned into a real win for Food4Kids and the families! The Grantham House reached out to many of their contacts to get product donated, so Food4Kids actually paid VERY little. | ||
Feeding parents and children, each family received a tray of penne pasta with chicken in a rose sauce. In addition, each child also received a hamburger with fresh fruit and vegetables on the side. They even included a treat bag for each family for dessert.
Club Helps Feed 100 Families / 290 Kids
A number of St. Catherines Lakeshore Rotarians were able to help with the deliveries as they have typically done, along with many volunteers from The Grantham House, despite a change in the normal delivery schedule to accommodate the cooking times. All in all, it was a great afternoon with lots of positive feedback from the Food4Kids families.
