How do you feel when you are hungry? Think about how you feel when you have missed breakfast and have to go about your day on an empty stomach. Currently over 2000 students in Dufferin are currently going to school hungry. Food and Friends helps to feed hungry children. The Children's Foundation of Guelph, Wellington and Dufferin has had to pivot during COVID to ensure children and youth are not arriveing at school without the proper nutrition to allow them to focus in class. We have a new opportunities that will allow you to support these children by getting involved with Food & Friend at Home. This new initiative involves having volunteer drivers attend the Orangeville Foodbank and pick up Food Packages that we will then deliver to these children at home.
