On December 2nd, thanks to your dynamism and good will, we collected 20 bins of foodstuffs totalling 371.2 kg, which will be distributed to the families served by our Centre and living with food insecurity.
Your support, and that of the your neighbours, not only brings comfort to these families, but also reinforces the spirit of solidarity and collaboration that lies at the heart of our mission.
We would like to thank you warmly for your continued support, which is already a fine tradition. Your generosity and commitment make a real difference in our Aylmer community, and we are deeply grateful to be able to count on partners like you.
We wish you, and everyone in your community, a very happy holiday season!
