January Updates HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are pleased to be back to school from the holiday break with our Lunch Program, Community Crew's largest initiative, where we serve thousands of healthy lunches each week to children in Niagara who would otherwise go without. With your help, we plan to provide even more services that inspire HOPE for vulnerable children and youth in 2025. Let's make this our best year yet! Thanks to the generosity of our donors and volunteers, we served just over 160,000 lunches to food insecure children in 2024! THANK YOU! Let's keep it going! Click HERE to donate to Community Crew BOOK A BIN TODAY! We had a wonderfully busy snack drive month in December, and thanks to our friends at Ridley College, Walker Industries, RH Brows & Beauty Studio, Bliss Aveda Salon, and Father Hennepin Catholic Elementary School, over 6,500 snacks were collected. Since we provide over 4,000 pre-packaged snacks each week as part of our lunches, we are always collecting snacks--it never stops! The question is, who will be next to BOOK A BIN and host a snack drive? It's easy and fun, and to find out more and book your snack collection bin, contact us at info@communitycrew.ca . BINGO RAISES BIG BUCKS IN 2024! Made possible through the efforts of our amazing bingo volunteers, we are pleased to report that we received a grand total of $73,607 from Bingo in 2024! We want to send a very special thank you to our Crew volunteers who helped us with Delta Bingo in 2024. Your dedication allowed 184 food insecure children to receive Community Crew lunches at school for the entire school year. THIS is why we participate in Delta Bingo, and we cannot do it without you! THANK YOU to all who are volunteering this year, as we hope to raise even more funds for our programming through Delta Bingo in 2025!If you are interested in joining our bingo volunteer team, please email our Volunteer Coordinator, at jennifer@communitycrew.ca .
