Food Drive for Six Nations of the Grand River
We have decided to extend our Fall Food Drive until Monday, October 16th. As you are shopping and going through your pantries this weekend, please consider putting a bag or box together to send to school for our Fall Food Drive in support of Six Nations of the Grand River, Social Services-Family Gatherings. Non perishable donations can be dropped off in the bin just outside the Main Office weekdays between 7:30 and 4:00. If you haven’t got time to shop or to drop something off, please consider making a donation through school cash online (donations can be made in $5 increments) and we are happy to do the shopping for you! Please use this link https://hcdsb.schoolcashonline.com/ , to sign into your account and donate.
Six Nations of the Grand River, which is only 52 km away from Loyola, is the largest First Nations reserve in Canada with almost 13,000 members living on reserve. Let us once again, show our Indigenous neighbours, the incredible giving spirit we have here at Loyola!
Thank you kindly to those of you who have already so generously donated!
