North Battleford students lend a hand to those in need
For more than twenty years, the students of North Battleford’s Comprehensive High School have donated their time and talents to make Christmas a little brighter for those in need.
The students are giving back to the community by collecting food items for the Battleford’s District Food and Resource Centre (BDFC). Students will canvass streets collecting non-perishable items Sun., Dec. 10 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Mon., Dec.11 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Teacher and food drive co-ordinator Andrew Sneddon told battlefordsNOW he’s hoping to see plenty of students volunteer this year.
“If we get a large number of volunteers from the student body then we may be able to cover seven to 10 neighbourhoods,” said Snedden. “If our number is low, then we try to canvass as much of the city as we can.”
