easybites campaign ensures kitchen renovated at The Battlefords Boys and Girls Club
October 21, 2019 marked the unveiling of a new kitchen, thanks to go easy and their easybites campaign.
goeasy has been a partner of Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada since 2004, and in 2013 they announced that they would support Boys and Girls Clubs by renovating Club kitchens nationally. They have committed to renovating 100 Club kitchens and the Battlefords Boys and Girls Clubs was one of the recipients.
In kitchens at Boys and Girls Clubs across Canada, children and youth are fed healthy snacks and meals every day. They also develop basic cooking skills, and learn how to make healthy choices about the food they eat. “When we were approached to have our kitchen renovated by goeasy, we were very excited’ says Nicole Combres, Executive Director of the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club.
“Some may wonder why we’d need a kitchen renovation since our building is only 6 years old. What most people do not know is the number of children, youth and families accessing services and therefore, the number of snacks and meals we’ve served in our kitchen thus far.
