Meet some of our supporters
A Heartfelt Thank You to Matt, Amanda, Kaya & Kingi
We are deeply grateful to Matt, Amanda, Kaya, and Kingi for their incredible donation of baby formula, as well as their kind gesture of dropping off an additional 20 cases of formula from another donor. Your generosity, made in memory of Olivia Marigold, beloved niece and cousin, touches all of us at the Battlefords District Food & Resource Centre (BDFRC). Baby formula and diapers are among the items we run out of most frequently. With over 2,150 individuals relying on us each month from 31 surrounding communities, and 53% of those we help being children, these donations make an enormous difference. Thank you for helping us continue to support the families who depend on us, and for honoring Olivia's memory in such a meaningful way. Your kindness is truly appreciated.
LVSchell donates plot for Food Bank to create Lasagna Garden
Thanks to LVSchell Construction who donated a city plot for us to use for the gardening season. We created a "Lasagna Garden" on the plot. A lasagna garden is a design using no digging or tilling. It is composed of alternating layers of organic material, filled with long term nutrition for your garden soil and plants. Check out our blog for more information.
