We were so excited to have a group of thirty grade 11 students visit us from Osaka, Japan, through GPI North America. The students had a tour and presentation to learn what we do here from our Volunteer Coordinator, Kyoka! They also donated $200.00!![]()

The students have been learning about the food bank system here in Canada as a part of their curriculum on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, with the second goal being "Zero Hunger". ![]()

They will be taking the information they learned here back to Japan, to hopefully influence a change towards better wrap-around social supports in the future.
