Easter Bears The Georgetown Bread Basket (Food Bank) ( ) perishable. Then came the Fresh Food Box of fresh fruits and vegetables. Thank to donations from the Rotarians and Kiwanis Club, the GBB is able to offer these boxes to our clients on a monthly basis. This helps to achieve the vision "to promote access to healthier eating for clients." The Georgetown Bread Basket first opened its doors to the hungry in 1996. In 1997 they became an accredited member of the Ontario Association of Food Banks and a registered not-for-profit food bank. The GGB is entirely run by volunteers. A group of up to 12 directors meet at least monthly to plan the daily activities, and other volunteers from the area generously give their time to help collect and sort food and to assist the clients in their shopping. We are able to serve the clients due to the generous donations of both food and cash that we receive from you, the community. Until four years ago the food was all nonrefrigerated hybrid truck for distribution of food donations. This does not change the Georgetown Bread Basket's method of collection or distribution of food, but enhances the selection of food for our clients. 5 Easter 2011 · Georgetown & Acton, Tuesday, April 19, 2011 Steering Specialties Canning 148 Armstrong Ave., Georgetown 905-873-9489 borelands@sympatico.ca In association with ReFresh Foods, a new regional food collection and distribution initiative, we will have access to surplus perishable goods, including healthier fresh and frozen food, from corporate suppliers.
