The School program is well under way with a lot less children for the breakfast part of the program. 19 kids this morning. Lunches are in the mid 30's on a regular basis. Seems like the healthier breakfast program has pushed a few children away. No more pop tarts, or bear claws. It's home made muffins, fruit, cereal, toast and some days pancakes.

Just finished our Turkey lunch for the kids, 52 kids in total. Lots of volunteers. The leftover will be made into turkey pot pies for senior. Love these ladies that spent hours in the kitchen cooking this great meal.

I'll say it again.  The good people who support this work through donations and helps are heroes. Well done.

Spent the morning dropping off baked treats to seniors in nursing homes. Our amazing volunteers, baked a lot of treats with help from some of the grade 5-6 students. The kids bagged up the treats, and today a group of volunteers and some of the kids headed out to the nursing homes. A very nice way to start the holidays.

Well, the schools are closed but you have to keep feeding the kids. Our church is putting on a lunch program running from 11-1pm. Averaging 55 kids per day. We are also running a spring break camp, for any parents/parent that can't afford to take this week off. There's 27 kids in that program. Pretty impressed with the number of volunteers. I am also pretty impressed with the lunches. Today was a turkey dinner.
