A big thank-you to Carrie for joining our Rotary Club this week and sharing the incredible work being done through Fight Hunger Feed Hope.
We were proud to support this important organization in the past, and it was inspiring to hear firsthand how our support — alongside that of the community — is helping address childhood hunger right here in Waterloo Region.
Some key takeaways:
Serving 1,400 children each week
Reaching 129 of 161 schools across the region
An estimated 5,000 children in our region are food insecure, with a waiting list
$1,400 supports one child for a full year
No government funding — supported entirely by donors and volunteers
A small team of 5 staff plus many dedicated volunteersThank you, Carrie, for your passion, your leadership, and for reminding us of the real impact we can make when we come together.
