Well done Food Banks Canada | Banques alimentaires Canada! We were thrilled to volunteer alongside our fellow partner organizations at the annual After The Bell packing event! It takes a village to ensure that no Canadian goes hungry. Many Canadian children rely on school meal programs that close their doors during the summer months. To ensure children have the nourishment they need, Food Banks Canada’s After The Bell Program provides healthy food packs containing child-friendly, nutritious food to supplement their nutrition needs over the summer. Together with over 1,500 volunteers from 58 partner organizations, we packed 83,720 food packs over two days to be distributed to over 215 communities across Canada. Thank you to all of our volunteers who brought their energy, passion and efforts to make the event a huge success! #WeAreSkip #Skip #CommunityService #AfterTheBellProgram
☀️ With summer in full swing, food banks in 215 communities across Canada are busy distributing #AfterTheBellProgram packs. 🍎 Each pack is carefully assembled at our volunteer packing event with nutritious, shelf-stable foods like sunflower seeds, cereal, oatmeal, and more. Local food banks then use grant money to supplement the packs with fresh items such as fruit, cheese, and yogurt. Kids love the variety and parents can feel good knowing that their little ones will have the energy that they need to run, jump, play, and explore all summer long! 🔗 To learn more about After the Bell and how you can help us #EndChildHunger, please visit https://lnkd.in/gZ_Dp3b7. 🍴 🍴 🍴 ☀️ L’été bat son plein, les banques alimentaires de 215 communautés du Canada sont occupées à distribuer les sacs de denrées du programme #AprèsLaCloche. 🍎 Chaque sac est soigneusement assemblé lors de notre activité d’emballage bénévole avec des denrées nutritives et de longue conservation comme des graines de tournesol, des céréales, du gruau et plus encore. Les banques alimentaires locales complètent ensuite les sacs grâce à des subventions et ajoutent des produits frais comme des fruits, du fromage et du yogourt. Les enfants adorent la variété d’aliments et les parents sont rassurés de savoir que leurs petits auront l’énergie dont ils ont besoin pour courir, sauter, jouer et explorer tout l’été! 🔗 Pour en savoir plus sur le programme Après la cloche et sur la façon dont vous pouvez nous aider à #MettreFinÀLaFaim chez les enfants, visitez le https://lnkd.in/gZ_Dp3b7.
