This volunteer fundraiser is organized by Leslie Reade and Josey Steele. The November 19th event at the Grace Centre featured 14 varieties of soup, fresh bread and desserts served up in a beautiful take-home ceramic bowl created by local potters, Tim de Rose, Sue Lyon, June Lang, Susan MacRae and Maggie Jean Gray. The soups were donated by local businesses and residents including Mill Street Café, Trios, the Beulows and Sunset Farm. SFCSC’s food bank assists an average of 60 adults and 46 children every month. Clients get access to the food bank once per month and receive a 5-7 day supply of non-perishable items, fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, eggs and bread.

Our team of health professionals provide stimulating programs throughout the day and are available to assist with medications, reduce social isolation and provide much needed respite for families and caregivers. Thank-you for helping us make this important program possible.
