MELFORT, Sask. – Farm Credit Canada (FCC) will contribute $100,000 to school meal programs across Canada as part of the corporation’s annual campaign to help alleviate hunger.
For the fourth consecutive year, FCC is supporting meal programs offered at 100 schools across Canada as part of FCC Drive Away Hunger.
FCC President and CEO Michael Hoffort said school meal programs need support.
“The global pandemic has created additional hardships for families with children and new food packaging requirements mean increased costs for schools to provide safe and healthy meals. No child should ever have to try to learn on an empty stomach,” Hoffort said in a news release.
