The annual UCC Lancers Scare Hunger food drive has once again delivered - literally - to Chatham Outreach for Hunger.
"It was fantastic!" says Brenda LeClair, Executive Director of Chatham Outreach for Hunger. "On Monday, truck after truck after truck kept rolling up to our doors with skids of food. We are overwhelmed and couldn't be happier!"
The annual food drive, organized by the UCC Cares Group, fans out across neighbourhoods to collect non-perishable food items. This year's contributions filled the school's foyer and lined the main hallway.
Van Hoof Siding Place offered its cube van and driver to help get the donated food across town to Chatham Outreach for Hunger.
"The students are amazing," says Ms. LeClair. "They haul all of the food into our warehouse and stock the shelves for us."
"I want to thank our students and staff; and especially the residents of our community, who always come through for us," says Lisa Harnarine, Principal of Ursuline College.
The annual fundraiser comes just in time to help support the busy Christmas season at Chatham Outreach for Hunger.
"The timing couldn't be better," says Ms. LeClair. "Our supplies were getting pretty low; but now we're in good shape as we head into the Christmas season."
