SJRH Nurturing Hope Spring Food Drive

Dear SJRH families,

As we continue to navigate through this unprecedented moment in history and slowly begin to see some glimmers of hope for a better tomorrow, there continues to be a steady increase in the number of families who require support from our local Food Bank.

Schools across the York Catholic District School Board are inspired by our Holy Father, Pope Francis’ inspiring reflection on the meaning of love as a call to action. As a response, school communities across the York Catholic District School Board are coming together to support our neighbours in need for a “One Day Nurturing Hope Food Drive”. Collection bins will be placed at the front doors of St. Joseph and monitored by school cameras for safety purposes.

Families are encouraged to take a walk to their school and place a bag of food and/or personal hygiene items in the Food Bank bins.

When: June 8, 2021 

Time: Approximately 8:30 am – 3 pm

Please ensure that you maintain physical distancing and wear a mask to ensure your personal well-being. Kindly note that all bins will be held in a 5-day quarantine by the Food Banks prior to being handled by their volunteers.
