Let the Children Share

Of the 374,698 people in Ontario who used food banks this year, 35% of them were children*. The Orchard children raised nearly $600 (thanks in part to one extremely generous donation) and several lovingly decorated boxes of food for The Stop Community Food Centre. The Stop is an extremely progressive organization who work to diminish food insecurity and poverty in a respectful and positive way. Our school is pleased to support their initiatives.
