Newark Neighbours helps kids around the region

November 16, 2019 by Suzanne Vaillant News

Newark Neighbours is expanding its mandate to help children in need in our community through a donation to Food4kids Niagara.

The organization works with Catholic and the public school boards to identify children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 who do not receive the required access to food.

Newark Neighbours donated a cheque for $3,000 recently to help towards putting together Christmas stockings which will have treats, hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies, as well as a toothbrush, socks and mittens.

Laura Gibson, chair of Newark Neighbours, is happy we are able to reach out further in the Niagara community to provide a bit extra for our children in need.
