Making a Difference: The International Centre's Commitment to Community Support
In a world where community and compassion are more important than ever, The International Centre team has once again demonstrated their unwavering commitment to social responsibility by participating in Food Banks Canada's After The Bell Program. This inspiring initiative aims to address food insecurity among children during the summer months when school meal programs are unavailable. By lending their time and effort, the team at The International Centre has made a significant impact on the lives of many families across Canada.
The After The Bell Program: Addressing Summer Food Insecurity
Food Banks Canada's After The Bell Program is designed to provide nutritious food packs to children who rely on school meal programs during the academic year. During the summer, these children face an increased risk of hunger and malnutrition. The program distributes food packs filled with healthy, kid-friendly items to food banks and community agencies across the country, ensuring that children have access to the nourishment they need even when school is out.
