Cram-a-Cruiser for Hamilton Food Share
2019-05-06 - 2019-05-14 | Ontario, Canada
Cram-A-Cruiser is a great display of students helping other students. Hamilton Food Share gathers food to supply 12 food banks and hot meal programs serving 12,600 people per month in Hamilton. Among those are 4,600 children of all ages in need of food. During the summer months when school is out, food donations slow down. This is at the same time as demand from families with children increases.
Now in its 4th year, Cram-A-Cruiser was started by football legend Michael “Pinball” Clemons in several cities across the province. Again this year, Cram-A-Cruiser is an all-Hamilton project supported by the Hamilton Police Services and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Thank you for helping Rousseau support Hamilton Food Share
