BURLINGTON, ON
The cheque books came out and in less than half an hour the 100 Women Who Care Burlington voted to support Food 4 Kids, an organization that works with our schools who have identified children/families living in poverty situations and discreetly provide the child (it goes in their backpacks) with food on weekends.
The Gazette wrote about this group a few months ago. We told of those 100 Women as well. If it’s something you might be interested in – touch base with them. It’s amazing what women with a cheque book can do – some might put the word “amazing” in big bold black letters.
There are currently 76 members of the Burlington Chapter of 100 Women – room for more of you. At $100 each Food4kids could be looking at $7,600 which is a lot of lunches.
You can reach then at www.food4kids.ca.
The other organizations nominated were Burlington Breast Cancer Support Services and the Seat Yourself Campaign @ Aldershot School.
