Networking in Rockwood Foodbank accepts donations By Denise Paulsen A ready supply of food is something that most of us take for granted. If were running low on food or toiletries, we make a trip to the grocery store. For some families in the community, how- ever, it isnt that simple. The Rockwood Food- bank is a relief to people in the village who find themselves experiencing a shortage of food and other essential items. Generous donations of necessary supplies are welcomed Monday, and again on Wednesday through Friday, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Housed within the New To You store on Church Street (behind Rockwoods St. Johns Anglican Church), the foodbank is run through EWAG services, and is affiliated with the food- bank program in Erin. Darci Burgess is the office co-ordinator at the Rockwood branch where families who find them- selves in need are treated with respect. To protect customer confidentiality, donations are discour- aged on Tuesdays. The families are invited to pay a visit to the foodbank, on a Tuesday of each month, to pick up what food and toiletries they require for the coming four weeks. The Rockwood food- banks goal is to provide the average family with one weeks worth of sup- plies to supplement their monthly needs. Were happy to receive both cold and hot cer- eals, peanut butter, lunch snacks pudding cups and cookies canned fruit and vegetables. People often forget that we are always looking for toilet- ries grooming products shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes, Bur- gess said. Donations of food and essential items, to help the less fortunate in the Rockwood community, are welcomed year- round. PASSPORT WINNERS: Sandra Morrill, Janet Clevely, Colleen Baeumler, Peggy Johnston, Genny Barlow and Lynn Nokes were the six winners of the Passport to Businesses in your own Backyard competition, sponsored by 12 Rockwood businesses. Winners met with some of the participating business owners last Saturday. Denise Paulsen photo
