KCS fundraiser supports community

By Joan Janzen

Kindersley Composite School supports local farmers and promotes healthy food choices by participating in their “Peak of the Market” fundraiser. This will be their third season in which they can raise funds while giving back to their community.
Customers may purchase bundles of locally grown vegetables for personal use, or the purchased bundle can be delivered to food banks in Kindersley or Saskatoon. They can also be donated to the Christmas hamper campaign, where they will be distributed to people in need.

Heidi Marchant, from KCS, said this is a win-win situation because not only are customers supporting KCS, they are providing healthy food for people in need during the holiday season. Vegetables available are carrots, onions, potatoes, parsnips and cabbage. Customers have a choice of two bundles worth $15 or $25.

Fifty percent of the proceeds from these reasonably priced bundles will go towards student activities and programs. Orders are due no later than Friday, Nov. 19, and produce will be available for pick up on Wed., Dec. 1. Customers can either order online at www.farmtoschool.ca/shop/products, by email - heidi.marchant@sunwestsd.ca, or in person at KCS by filling out an order form. Any donation orders made online will go directly to the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre.
