Donations to Foodgrains HENSALL - A noon -lime lun- cheon in the .Fellowship Hall of Hensall United Church on February 22 'accomplished two purposes. Village business people, teachers at the school and municipal officials had a chance to spend time together while enjoying a roast beef dinner, and the proceeds were matched three to one by the Canadian Internation- al Development Agency (CIDA) to send corn to Africa through the Ca- nadian Foodgrains bank. Glenn Hayter, chairman of the ad • hoc 'committee that organized the dinner, explained that last year a group of churches .raised enough money to fill a railway car with bagged corn. Rev. Cheryl Anne Stadclbauer-Sampa from .Egmond- ville United Church invited-Hensall to participate in this year's project. "When you sec what money can do, it changes your perspective. One metric tonne of corn, costing approximately S125 this year, will feed 2,500 people for one day on emergency ration. With CIDA matching every dollar with three, that means almost 10,000 people are fed for this amount", Hayter said. Committee members Rev. Doug Wright from Hensall- United Church, Dave Brock, Ian McAllis- ter, Jerry Drysdale and Grant St. John decided a dinner would be more beneficial to everyone than just collecting money door to door. Image Cleaners, a recent addition to the Hensall business communi- ty, supplied the table cloths for the dinner, then turned around and do- nated the money they had been paid. A collection on Sunday at the Hen- sall church was added to the pro- ceeds of the dinner and brought the village's total donation to $2,200. Those taking part in the dinner were invited to go over to the Hen- sall Co-op 'afterward to watch the corn being prepared for shipment. The local co-op donated the labour and resources to bag 140 metric tonnes of corn into Z800 bags; which filled two railway cars. The corn is headed for Mozambique. "It's not a big deal. We are glad to help. Our customers are also th, owners of this co-op. If memheN. are prepared to donate the r.iurt, . the co-op is prepared to dr ,;u, facilities.
