Centretown Emergency Food Centre

Centretown Emergency Food Centre especially needs pasta sauce, pasta, and canned vegetables this month. Last month’s donations were so low that 75% of the food distributed had to be purchased. The number of children served doubled over April of last year. The freezer has had to be replaced. Remember CEFC in your summer planning: donations of money and fresh produce will help in what is usually a lean period. Your donations of food, money, and time are more important than ever. Thank you.
