A Generous Contribution

Posted: December 20, 2012

School children in Anglophone North School District have had plenty of opportunity recently to understand that there are those in their respective communities who can benefit from support of their neighbours, and they have done something about it. On Thursday, December 20th the schools in the Miramichi area completed their annual Christmas Food Drive with more than 400 cardboard boxes of food and Christmas treats being collected from area schools and delivered to the Miramichi Food Bank. The Miramichi Food Bank currently has more than 400 families calling on them for support each month. Schools in all of the ASD-N communities including Campbellton, Dalhousie, Bathurst, Blackville and Rexton in addition to Miramichi, encouraged students to give to the needy this Christmas and had very generous results.
