Lunches for learning
In order to try to ensure that no child has to go to hungry at school, St. Vincent Place in the Sault is offering a new ‘lunches for learning’ program.
Via this program, parents and guardians of school-age children and youth (ages four to 17) will be eligible to receive a package of school safe lunch foods that will allow them to send their child to school with a lunch every day.
The packages will contain foods such as granola bars, yogurts, sandwich bread, cheese strings, fresh fruit and vegetables, and juice boxes — with enough for one to two weeks worth of lunches (depending on the child’s age and appetite.)
The packages can be picked up on Fridays at St. Vincent Place — which is located on Albert St. E. — between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. by calling ahead to arrange for pick-up.
Delivery will also be available for those with transportation issues. Those receiving the packages will be required to show identification for any eligible children.
To receive a ‘lunches for learning’ package, you can call Sara at 705-253-2770 ext. 4, or e-mail [email protected].
