Dear
Friends of Gleaners:
Welcome
to our 2007 kick-off for the Gleaners Tri-County Food Network’s
Capital Campaign.
As
of February 28th we will officially own the building at
25 Wallbridge Crescent. That is the location of our regional warehouse
that services
Hastings, Prince Edward and
Northumberland
County
food banks including:
Loyalist
College/school breakfast & snack programs, soup kitchens and
non-profit agencies.
Our
goal is to raise $600,000 to help offset the operating expenses
for this endeavor.
This will enable us to lower our monthly warehouse
operational expenses and ensure we direct needed dollars to food
purchases. Gleaners'
mission is to network food to the region and this warehouse is the
means to continue this valued service.
We
are happy to announce that the following professionals have joined
our capital campaign: Mr. Stu Cook to
assist with banking and Mr. Peter McCabe will advise us on Legal
Issues. We have also set up Capital Campaign Accounts with the TD
Bank on North Front Street
Belleville.
We
would appreciate your participation in this fundraising campaign.
Yours
truly,
P.
John Halloran
Honourary Chair
Gleaners Food Bank
