Hunger in Moose Jaw is continuing to look forward to great support from the community as it kicks off its 8th Annual “I Bought A Lunch” Campaign in support of its Child Nutrition Program. The campaign sets out to raise $50,000 in 50 days to continue providing lunches for schools in the Prairie South and Holy Trinity Divisions. Over 300 lunches are packaged everyday consisting of sandwiches, fruits or vegetables and a snack and delivered to the schools in the city. The campaign was officially launched and will wrap up on November 27th. The proceeds from the campaign will go directly to feeding lunch to up to 300 kids per day in Moose Jaw’s schools. Hunger in Moose Jaw says it will provide over 65,000 lunches to Moose Jaw schools this year. “The rising cost of food and the growing demand for lunches in the city is putting extra pressure on Hunger in Moose Jaw to raise the funds needed to ensure the program meets the needs of Moose Jaw’s most vulnerable children,” noted Hunger in Moose Jaw. Executive Director at Hunger in Moose Jaw Sharla Sept says

that with the support from the community, the organization will continue to meet this demand. “We continue to be amazed at the support we receive from the community of Moose Jaw during this campaign. Last year we raised above our $50,000 and we hope to do it again this year,” Sept said. “The campaign has been going well so far. We’re receiving donations daily and we’re going to be out in the community over the 50 days to also help boost the campaign. We’re already seeing a lot of support and we’re looking forward to meeting our target again this year,” Sept added. There will be opportunities to donate at the following businesses such as BMO, CIBC, TD Canada Trust, Conexus South Hill Fine Foods and R&S Restaurant (just east of Moose Jaw off #1 hwy at Esso gas station). You can also visit Hunger in Moose Jaw at 269 Stadacona St. W to drop off donations. For more information on this campaign and how you or your business can get involved, please contact Sharla Sept at 306.692.1916.
