As the local Desjardins (formerly State Farm) Insurance Agent for 23 years (in 4 days) I am feeling privileged to be able to continue to help support Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington#KeepKidsFed student breakfast, snack and lunch programs throughout Centre Wellington.
This month I was able to donate $500 of food towards John Black Public School's student snack program thanks to Desjardins' Better Things Moments.
More and more kids in our community are living with hunger. Since the pandemic, more families are struggling to make ends meet. Parents face extremely difficult choices every month such as paying the rent or buying groceries. They often can't manage both. As a community, we need to strengthen every resource we have to keep kids fed.
