SOBEYS PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTS SALVATION ARMY

Submitted by Cadet Jeff Robertson

On the heels of a successful Christmas campaign and completion of its building renovation, The Salvation Army in Fenelon Falls was the recipient of more community generosity.

Through a program at Sobeys, customers and employees were able to donate to the local food bank over the Christmas season. Sobeys representatives recently presented The Salvation Army with the fruits of that campaign – Sobeys gift cards valued at over $13,000.

“With the wonderful gift, we have greater opportunity to provide healthy, fresh food to clients who might otherwise be unable to do so,” says Miya Bradburn, pastor at The Salvation Army. “We have the means to provide fruit and vegetables now, supplementing the non-perishables the community so graciously donates on a regular basis.”

The Salvation Army provides practical care to individuals and families year-round. Food insecurity is a growing issue, made more real with the increased price of goods. “The help we are able to give is made possible by community partners, such as Sobeys,” adds Bradburn. “Sobeys gives back to its community, which inspires others to join them.”

With the new commercial kitchen ready to go, plans are in the works to be able to provide fresh snacks and even meals to those who are hungry. More information will be communicated in the coming weeks.

Horoscopes

March 11 to 24, 2022 By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) In all your daily ongoings, Aquarius, show kindness, but don’t always expect the same in return. “You never know what people are through”, and so they may simply not be able to respond as you think they should. But know you DO make a difference.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Watch for a distinctive missive, either by snail mail or email, that you should not dismiss, Pisces during this phase. It could be of importance.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Take some time for reflection, dear Aries, and think about your long-term goals. You may find you want to use your energy and experience to try something new.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) Your friends will be looking to you for guidance and encouragement, but be aware of those who wouldn’t do the same for you, Taurus.

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) You could be drawn into the drama in social situations, Gemini. The key is to keep your distance when you need to and make sure you’ve still got time for yourself.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) Focus on your sense of peace and comfort as your spirituality helps guide you. Dear Cancer, meditation can be key to giving you some well-needed rest. Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Time for a vacation, dear Leo! Make it a mini one or go big. Either one will be worthwhile. You definitely deserve it!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) Change isn’t such a bad thing after all, is it Virgo? Just look at how Spring comes to us and rewards us with its energy, all the while changing everything!

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) While we can’t say your financial situation will improve exponentially, we do possibly see an increment large enough to make a small difference in the near future.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) You may never live up to the expectations of others, Scorpio, and you should never strive to do so. Love yourself dearly above all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) “Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” E.E. Cummings. Don’t give up on yourself so quickly, dear Sag. Believe in YOU and reap the rewards!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan 20) You’ve been looking forward to something for a long time, Capricorn. That day may never come, but, remember, if it doesn’t all is not lost. You will need to adapt, but you will endure.

VIRTUAL TURTLE CAMP

Looking for something fun for the kids on March Break? The Turtle Guardians have a virtual Turtle Camp on March 16 and 17 that can give them an education at the same time.

For $20 per child, they will earn their Level 2 Turtle Guardian status by passing the test after two days of turtle training. They’ll learn how to watch for basking turtles in wetlands and how to monitor nests and help hatchlings.

The camp is over two mornings from 10am to 1pm through Zoom.

You can register and find out more at www. turtleguardians.ca.

YOUTH GRIEF PROGRAM GETS SUPPORT

Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes (CCCKL) Hospice Services, through the Community Care Foundation, has received a donation of $12,050 from 100 Women Who Care Kawartha Lakes to put toward its Standing Together and Receiving Support (STARS) youth grief support program.

“We are incredibly grateful to 100 Women Who Care Kawartha Lakes for supporting this program that provides such positive value for so many young people in our community who have experienced loss,” said Sharon Yeo, Manager, Hospice Services, CCCKL.

This is the second time 100 Women Who Care Kawartha Lakes has donated to CCCKL, as the group previously provided $15,450 to the organization’s Dental Clinic in 2017.

STARS is an eight-week virtual support group that uses interactive art, play and reflective and creative activities to help guide children through their own unique grief journey. It gives participants a safe place to talk about their loved ones, share their grief stories and interact with their “big feelings” like sadness, anger and even joy. They will gain skills to help them seek support, sit with their emotions, and gain strategies to calm the storm of grief. The STARS program helps participants connect with other children who are experiencing similar journeys through grief.

If you, or someone you know has experienced loss or are living with a life-limiting illness, know that you don’t have to make this journey alone. CCCKL’s Hospice Services offer support, comfort and direction. All Hospice services are offered free of charge, thanks to generous donations like this one.

You can find out more at www.ccckl.ca.
