HMCC and food bank start new program

Simple Fact  Too many people in our area start and finish each day hungry. Our food bank, headed by Shirley and Brian Bishop has done an incredible job providing services to these folks. HMCC is reaching out and supporting the food bank in its ongoing battle against hunger. And the best part? You can get involved. “Running on Empty” starts in December.

The Program.  It’s fun and promotes healthy & active lifestyles. Hantsport will have a number of RWB’s (Runners/Walkers/Bikers). A RWB will run, walk or bike 20 kilometers weekly and post their results on the HMCC website.    

  Each RWB will have sponsors. The sponsors check the HMCC website and if your RWB makes their weekly goal you donate one item to the food bank!  If we have 10 RWB’s and each RWB has 5 sponsors we gather 50 food items per week = 2,600 per year.

  Please consider being a weekly sponsor or a RWB.  If interested please phone Ron Such at 684.0309, check out the HMCC website or email Ron at rons@friesens.com.
