Another boost for the Kids First Food Bank.
The St. Clair College Alumni Association recently presented a $5,000 cheque to the Windsor Homes Coalition.
"These kids need to grow up and learn in a healthy environment because you can't learn properly if you're hungry or sick we all know that," says Alumni Association President Tom Malanfant. "We'd like to try and see if we can help in some small way to get these kids into a healthy environment."
Malanfant says he hadn't heard of the food bank prior to the news of it shutting down.
"The fact that it's there and its association with the housing and I think it's a different demographic maybe than some of the other food banks that are through the churches or through the mission or through the Salvation Army," he says.
The donation was made after the food bank temporarily shut down in late October after its shelves were bare.
It is located on Howard Ave. near Erie St.
