 Each week we collaborate
to provide food for sixty families-Tuesdays at Britannia Ice Rink and Fridays at Macdonald Elementary School. In another initiative, Quest delivers hot lunch for thirty for our Family Literacy Program every Tuesday... The food program allows Community Education to reach out to many of our neediest citizens...
