SKILLED TRADES EVENT RAISES FUNDS FOR FOOD BANK
Local students recently completed Explore a Career: Skilled Trades at the Espanola campus of Cambrian College. The six-week program focused on carpentry and welding and gave students the opportunity to develop a variety of skills in construction, woodworking, welding and ornamental metal work. During the construction segment of their training, students built a 10' X 10" shed which was purchased by a local resident. The shed was transported to its new home courtesy of A10 Fabrication. Proceeds from the sale of the shed, totalling $2035 was donated to our food bank.

KIDS THESE DAYS!
Well, little kids and garage sale donations to the food bank are the going thing these days!
Today, 6 year old Chloe (sparking dress) and her 4 year old sister Olivia presented President Susan Kryzanowski with $402.60! The money was raised from a garage sale along with the sale of lemonade and muffins. Parents Joel and Katherine Marion could not be more proud. When asked by their parents who they would like to raise funds for, they said without hesitation "the food bank"!
What a wonderful town we live in and what great parents we are seeing instilling great values on their children. Both Joel and Katherine are no strangers to volunteering their time to worthwhile causes like the fire department and Joel has made a huge step in running for our local town council. Bravo to the Marion family!
JIM'S DONATES BIG!
We were presented with a very generous cheque in the amount of $3000.00 from Jim's Portable Toilet and Septic Service.
GARAGE SALES FOR THE WIN!

The proceeds from the Espanola and McKerrow outlets go to the Espanola Helping Hand Food Bank and in Blind River they are donated to the North Shore Health Network, for the purchase of medical equipment.
Last year, total sales came in over $20,000 from all three outlets.
