Imagine shopping once a month to feed your family. In your cart there are three meat items, a dozen eggs, a litre of milk, some yogurt, a few fresh vegetables and some fruit, along with canned soup, canned protein and a bag of typical snack items.How would you stretch these items out to last 10 days? That is the reality of people using the Newmarket Food Pantry. Over 975 households use the Food Pantry each month. The most shocking statistic is that 1 in 34 people in Newmarket are currently accessing the food bank. The Statistics report that 33% of the clients are children.
This is the reason why we hope YOU will come and shop for Valleyview Alliance’s 18th annual Jingle Bell Blitz!!
See you there!
