This program has a dual purpose: to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for children, and to teach them how to grow and cook food, promote healthy habits, develop life skills, and build self-confidence. “We are forever grateful to Canadians, and Loblaw, for their giving spirit,” said Shantelle Rhynold, Director, PC Children’s Charity. “This campaign, in part, helped us to achieve our longstanding goal of feeding 1 million kids annually.
