NHCHC Food Drive

Cootes Paradise Elementary is excited to be organizing its’ 11th annual food drive to
help supply the North Hamilton Community Health Centre’s Breakfast Program.
This is a voluntary project and we hope that those families who are able to, will
contribute.
Your child has been given a sticker in their agenda with a non-perishable food item
listed on it. We kindly ask that you please bring the food item labeled on the sticker
since the Breakfast Program requires specific foods to meet nutritional guidelines.
The items range from cereal and granola bars, to baking supplies for making healthy
muffins and baked goods.
In addition to the food drive, the school will also contribute to the purchase of toys for
children who use the Centre. We ask that, if possible, each student provide a donation
of $2 towards the purchase of a toy by December 13th.
This project will run from Monday, December 4th to Friday, December 15th .
Volunteers will then deliver the food collected and the toys purchased by our school to
the North Hamilton Community Health Centre on the morning of December 15th .
If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Tapajna at [email protected] or
Mme. Titian or Mrs. O’Breza at Cootes Paradise School.
