Both hands fundraising for Blessings in a Backpack
Posted on
On Wednesday May 9th, 2012 we had our third annual sold out fundraiser in support of Blessings in a Backpack. I am pleased to announce that we were able to raise over $25,000 that night for this worthy charity.
It could not have been possible without the enormous donations we received from all our suppliers, customers and those who attended. I especially thank my team both hands Jennie, Johanna and Beth and all my staff at Quince Bistro who donated their time for this event. It really was a special night.
Blessings in a Backpack Canada
“Because hunger does not take the weekend off”
No child should have to go to school hungry, but it happens every day all across Canada. The backpack program feeds elementary school children who may not have any or enough food on the weekends. It takes only $100 to feed a child for an entire school year, which can make all the difference in a child’s ability to succeed in school.
