North Huron Food
Share looks
back on 2013
It hardly seems possible that 2013
is drawing to a close.
The North Huron Food Share
would like to extend our apprecia-
tion at this Christmas season to each
and every one, who over the year has
continued to support our cause. The
continuing generosity of you, our
donors, when approached to sup-
port the Food Share, shows the
thoughtful & caring compassion that
the local small towns and rural areas
have for the less fortunate. The num-
bers and sizes of the donations from
individuals, churches, service clubs
etc., this festive season, are truly
appreciated.
We have seen another increase in
our clientele over last year but we
are striving to maintain the level of
food distribution to our clients. We
have been able to once again, give
turkeys and hams to our clients at
this Christmas Season. On Dec. 4,
we set a dubious record of having 53
families come to the Food Share,
with the rest of the month still to go.
I think that it's important that people
realize that we only supplement the
client's existing food and they can
access the Food Share only once a
month. A family of four will receive
approximately $130 worth of food or
roughly one week's groceries. We
had 10 new families come to the
Food Share this month. These are
not new families moving to Wing -
ham and area, rather families that
now find themselves a little short of
food at the end of the month. It takes
a lot of soul searching to finally
admit that you need to come to the
Food Share for assistance.
The directors of the North Huron
Community Food Share are continu-
ing to come up with new ideas for
Food Drives etc. We seem to be
preaching the same message, every
time I write an editorial, but the facts
remain, we are in constant need of
food or monetary donations. When
you visualize how much food 53
families require, based on the infor-
mation that was mentioned earlier
in this article, the demand is almost
impossible to keep up to. I am proud
to once again mention that our
directors and volunteers, are not
paid for their valuable service to the
Food Share. All the non-perishable
food & monies donated to us, stay
right here at the Food Share. We
have an amazing relationship with
the local food stores in Wingham
and the surrounding towns. They
make us aware weeks in advance of
specials, so we can make our dollar
go as far as possible. We believe in
shopping "at home" to support our
local stores and their employees, as
these are also the same people who
support our cause. Check out our
website www.nhfoodshare.ca)
Please know that by your continuing
donations, you are helping some-
one's Christmas season a little
better.
My all time favourite movie and
especially at this time of year is
"Scrooge': I leave you with the
immortal last words spoken by Tiny
Tim... God Bless Us, Everyone"
Merry Christmas & Happy New
Year.
