April 17th-23rd at the Seaway Mall in the empty unit beside EarlyON.
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! That’s Open Arms Mission of Welland Inc, The Hope Centre, and Holy Trinity Welland. Our goal is not just to raise food, but to raise awareness and spread hope at the same time! Each day, there is a new challenge with chances to win prizes!
The unit we chose is located inside the mall 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”!
