The new space would allow us to be able to accept the amount of food share and reclamation that we qualify for. We must currently decline these donations due to lack of space. This means our clients go without this food. A Community Kitchen is also included in the plans, so we can teach people how to make inexpensive meals and to use donated and community items. An appropriate sorting area with sinks will allow us to buy in bulk, saving funds for some educational programing.
Go to the CIR website @ cirrealty.ca On the right hand corner it says “In My Backyard Contest” - Click on it.
