Dear Friends: We’re reaching out for some support, connected to a very cool project! Would you like to sponsor one week of the Society’s on-air One-Minute Polish Podcast for a donation $100? (You can hear the segments on The Coast Radio, FM 89.7, weekdays, 3:50 and 7:50 p.m. or any time at coastalradio.ca). The Coast has kindly agreed for the funds to support the work of the St. Michael’s Polish Benefit Society, which has been a big help during the pandemic! Our ongoing radio segments focus on Polish words, customs, activities, and interesting facts about the Polish community in Cape Breton. Sponsors are mentioned on air and sponsorships can be in memory of a loved one or in honour of a birthday or anniversary. If you might like to consider being a sponsor, please message us or call 902-563-1226. Your help is deeply appreciated!

FOOD CUPBOARD - THANK YOU! The St. Michael's Polish Benefit Society is truly grateful to everyone from our amazing community who has been placing non-perishable food and personal-care items in our Food Cupboard at the Society's Polish Village Hall. The sign says: "Take what you need. Leave what you don't. Give what you can. Thank you." Thanks again to Alicia Lake, carpenter Adam McCormick, and 60 Minute Signs for helping the Society get the Food Cupboard started in April. Thanks as well to members of St. Mary's Polish Church for collecting items every Sunday, and to everyone from the Pier who has been stocking it during the week! We've heard positive feedback about how this is helping.
