KCS fundraiser is a win-win

By Joan Janzen

The annual Kindersley Composite Farm to School fundraiser always gives back to the community. This year KCS helped out Food Mesh and the Kindersley Food Hamper Program by distributing vegetables to both groups. This is the fourth year for this successful fundraiser, which raised approximately $4,000.

This student leadership fundraiser not only promotes health, but also gives back to the community. Heidi Marchant from KCS explained, “Customers purchase bags of vegetables for their families, or can choose to purchase a bag of vegetables to feed people in our community who may need a boost this holiday season. No matter where the vegetables are purchased, half of the money stays to support student leadership initiatives and student activities in our school. It’s a win-win!”

Barbe Dunn from Food Mesh definitely agreed when KCS students delivered well over 1500 pounds of potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions and cabbage to the Food Mesh door, in addition to donating vegetables to the Kindersley Food Hamper Program. These generous contributions will go a long way in helping out people in Kindersley and surrounding communities in the coming weeks before Christmas.
