Summary: Rotary Club will purchase healthy food products and winter clothing items for families living under the poverty line Whitehorse Yukon,.
Whitehorse Yukon has a significant number of families living below the poverty line who cannot and do not provide sufficient food for their children unless provided by the Whitehorse Food Bank. These children go to school hungry and not properly dressed for the harsh winter conditions. This crisis impairs their ability to learn as well making them very vulnerable to illness. The Whitehorse Midnight Sun Rotary club will in collaboration with the Food Bank Executives determine the items of food and clothing required by these families. Rotarians will purchase the necessary items, deliver them to the Food Bank and participate in the fitting and issuance of the items purchased. This project will be afforded appropriate media coverage and serve as an illustration to the community of Rotarians contribution to the health and education of those less fortunate and in need. This project will be completed by November 30, 2013.
