FCC “Drive Away Hunger” campaign will be wrapped up Friday, Oct 18.
Morrin School and Greentree School were involved in one day drive program where the kids brought food to school for the Food Bank (Salvation Army, Drumheller) on “World Food Day” on October 16.
Last year with the help of the two schools and other participants, the program was able to bring in 3.1 million pounds of food across Canada. The goal is 5 million this year. Sadly, 38 per cent of those who need the Food Bank are children.
Last Wednesday, FCC picked up food from the Drumheller Co-op. They were able to bring in 439 lbs compared to 267 lbs last year.
