Pearson
Adult Learning Centre will be having a food drive for the whole month
of
November, 2010. As we near the holiday season, it is important to help
people
in our own community who are in need of basic food items.
A
food drive raises food to donate to the food bank. This year (2010) we
hope to
gather at least six boxes of food. This year, teachers
at PALC
are going to try to fill their box of donated food before any of the
boxes in
the claasrooms are filled!
The Greater
Vancouver
Food Bank is an organization that helps to feed
the hungry and
needy people in our communities. It serves the people of Vancouver,
Burnaby,
New Westminster and the North Shore. The goal of the Food Bank is to
provide food
and related assistance to those in need.
Please check out their website to learn more about the ways in which you can help to fight hunger in your local community.

Please help by bringing food items to donate to
the food bank.

whole month of November.

We

go bad)
items. Let's try to fill all six boxes!! Bring any amount of canned and
packaged food to help the recipients of the food bank. Please check the
“Best
Before” dates and make sure the food is not expired. Thank you in
