Thanks to the well-received support from the community, Hunger In Moose Jaw is able to continue providing healthy lunches to children.
The organization’s “I Bought A Lunch” campaign ended on Nov. 16, exceeding the goal of raising $50,000.
“The campaign was well received by the community and we are so thankful for all the support,” said Sharla Sept, executive director at Hunger in Moose Jaw.
Donations will go directly into the organizations Child Nutrition program, which is a lunch program that feeds all children in school divisions within the community.
Every dollar supplies one lunch for a child in the program. Annually, the program provides approximately 65,000 lunches to children a year.
Hunger in Moose Jaw volunteers drop off the lunches at the schools which are then dispersed by the school staff.
Donations were accepted in person, by mail and through e-transfer. Individuals can continue to make donations anytime at the Hunger in Moose Jaw office, located at 269 Stadacona St. W.
