Feed Our Future: Please bring non-perishable food donations to meetings until June
Dear Members;
In an effort to help alleviate the financial stress associated with hunger during the summer months, the Human Rights Committee is asking all members to please bring a non-perishable food item to all meetings (within public health guidelines) between now and the end of June, 2021.
These items will be collected by members of your Local Executive and donated to Feed Nova Scotia.
Cash donations: Cheques can be made out to NSGEU Human Rights committee, Feed our Future (in memo section), or each NSGEU office has a Feed Nova Scotia cash drop box.
To see where Feed Nova Scotia distributes the donations, please visit Feed Nova Scotia. You can view a list of the most needed food items by clicking here.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
Sherry Dennis, Human Rights Committee Chair
