Probably not—it’s new! Let us fill you in:
THREE major food banks in Welland have come together with Seaway to challenge the community to raise food and essential items BY FILLING AN ENTIRE UNIT in the mall from! That’s Open Arms Mission, The Hope Centre, and Holy Trinity Church. Our goal is not just to raise food, but to raise awareness and spread hope at the same time!
The unit we chose is located inside the mall (800 Niagara St) beside EarlyON. It has 2900 square feet to work with and is lined with shelving from floor to ceiling. We can’t wait for everyone to see how their contributions “stack up”!
So what’s the daily challenges?! Keep reading!
