Earlier this month, the Kiwanis Kingsway Humber Club received an urgent request from the Youth Without Shelter in North Etobicoke to help them provide Food Care Kits to between 15 and 25 former residents of the shelter who are coming to their door every week for food support.

Members of the Club followed the Shelter’s recommended grocery items for each Food Care Kit. They purchased the items and a few extra groceries for $30 each kit. A total of six bags were completed as shown in the photos.

Upon dropping off the grocery items, volunteers from the club were met by Mike and four residents who expressed their thanks to Kiwanis Kingsway Humber for their kindness and quick action.
