Over the last few weeks, the Manitoulin Family Resources contingent of volunteers have been hard at work collecting for the annual Christmas Basket program with amazing success.
Schools, volunteer groups and service clubs have come together to provide 930 Christmas dinners to Manitoulin Island families this year.
Families can be referred to the Manitoulin Food Bank through resources such as doctors, churches and other agencies.
The clients are all assigned a number to provide anonymity and the referring organization will pick up the basket and redistribute it to the family.
