Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Civic Holiday August 5 6 7 8 9 19 Area 1, 3, 4, 5 Collection Moves Area 2 Collection Moves Hunger doesn't take a summer va- cation and neither does the need for food donations at Georgetown Bread Basket. With many area residents heading off for their annual holiday, George- town Bread Basket Chair Terri Mosher wants to remind people to donate food to the food bank as shelves there are starting to get a little bare. By the end of August the situation could become more urgent if people don't continue to donate throughout the summer. The food bank supports more than 300 families and last year saw 3,143 visits. Mosher said 60 new clients have come in since January. "We have had an increase in the number of children we serve by 17 per cent over last year," said Mosher. "We have also increased the pounds of food distributed by six per cent." Area residents are encouraged to drop their non-perishable food dona- tions off at any of the bins (bright blue with a yellow logo) located at local gro- cery stores including Walmart. Wal- mart, in collaboration with the Ontario Association of Food Banks, has recent- ly partnered with Georgetown Bread Basket to support weekly non-perish- able food items to the food bank. The most-needed items are canned salmon, canned meat, canned juice, baby food, baby formula, diapers, canned fruit and sugar. Visit www.georgetownbreadbasket. ca. Kicking off the new drop box for food bank donations at the new Walmart location, (from left) Walmart store manager Vanessa Bradley, Georgetown Bread Basket (GBB) chair Terri Mosher and GBB volunteer Ann Stacey placed the first items into the bin, which is located by the front entrance. In addition to having the bin in the store, Wal- mart, in collaboration with OAFB (Ontario Association Food Banks), has partnered with GBB to support weekly non-perishable food items to the food bank. The program start- ed July 15. Photo by Ted Brown Food bank reminds residents hunger doesn't take a vacation By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer Halton Region has invested $289 mil- lion this year to improve regional roads. The investment, a regional report reveals, is part of the Region's $2.4 bil- lion transportation capital program cre- ated in 2011 to significantly expand the regional road network and provide the transportation capacity needed to sup- port the growing demand across Halton to 2031. Regional council received the report and an update on the project at its recent meeting, where staff shared with coun- cillors work that has already been com- pleted. A number of major projects underway and planned for 2013 include Steeles Ave- nue widening from James Snow Pkwy. to Winston Churchill Boulevard and inter- section reconstruction at Ontario Street in the Milton and Halton Hills area.
