Reaching Out Centre helps feed local students

​The Reaching Out Centre's "Be a Blessing" initiative is something we have wanted to begin for some time. We were made aware of a need at a local school where students were coming to school hungry and teachers were working to provide food for them. Some of the teachers were making it themselves. We believed that we could help so we set out to create a program where we could help.
​
Our program prepares food packages that the children can access on Mondays and Tuesdays every other week. This past Sunday (Mother's Day), we packaged up food that will be available the following Monday. We are trying to get two days’ worth of food out of our efforts and so far, we have been successful.

Our next Be a Blessing prep day will be on May 24, starting at 11AM. This is also an All In Sunday for us, another separate program but one which integrates the Be a Blessing Program for this month. We encourage you to come out and help. It is a great way to give back!
