Today was our last "Food Box Friday" and it was another yummy one. With students returning to school shortly, we say farewell to so many grateful families. Thanks to our many dedicated volunteers, our food suppliers (Evans Wholesale, @produceexpress @heritagegrown @greatlakesfarms #harvestbowl ) and our funders - @osnpsouthwest @BreakfastClubCanada @unitedwayemca @ElginCountyAdmin @groceryfoundation @TimHortons @Steelway and several private donors. This would not have been possible without all of these amazing community partners. CHEERS TO YOU! #localheroes #NourishKidsNow #nohungrykids

The countdown is on - only 13 days until this year's Smile Cookie Campaign begins.

Today's "Frantic Friday" was quickly remedied with a 6am call to St. Thomas Foodland. Hats off to Dave Stewardson & staff, for quickly filling our order for additional pasta, peanut butter, soup & cereal for our school family food boxes. Hats off to Brent for sourcing, packing and loading all of the product for us. #localheroes #NourishKidsNow #nohungrykids #Foodland @sobeys

HOORAY! @BreakfastCanada has answered our call and provided a substantial grant allowing us to continue our community food support programs throughout the summer months. Students and their families across Elgin-St. Thomas will reap the benefits of Breakfast Club of Canada's generosity - THANK YOU!!! #BreakfastClubCanada #NoHungryKids #NourishKidsNow @OSNPsouthwest @osnpELGIN

Even in the heat, it's full steam ahead with "Food Box Friday" thanks to Penny, Dan, Rob, Anna & Stacey. We added some new items this week (pineapple, Nutri-Grain Bars & spinach) & some new volunteers - Leesa, Brandie & Chere. Hoping all the fresh fruits & veggies help to keep everyone cool during this heat wave. @onspElgin #NourishKidsNow #NoHungryKids #LocalHeroes #BreakfastClubCanada

A "SOUPER" generous donation of dried soup mixes from @HarvestBowl01 to be included in our school food boxes. Just add water - it couldn't be easier. Thanks to Donna and her team for the great work they're doing with surplus produce from local growers. Turning lemons into lemonade! http://www.harvestbowl.ca/ @osnpElgin @OSNPsouthwest #NoHungryKids #NourishKidsNow

Perfect timing Amanda & Charli - summer officially begins tomorrow.

Another "Food Box Friday" under our belt with 150 boxes distributed to Elgin school families. Once again, our volunteer team was awesome packing, loading and delivering out to our students during the extended school closure. Thanks again to Heritage Grown Farms for the generous donation of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers - the kids love them all! We're back at it on the 26th. @osnpELGIN @OSNPSouthwest @heritagegrown @eastelgin @port_ps #NourishKidsNow #NoHungryKids
