Food Pantry Project initiated and needs help!

Started by a concerned citizen living in New Waterford, Cape Breton. Inspired by the recent installations of Free Food Pantries in Sydney and Whitney Pier. They would love to see one or more in New Waterford as food insecurity is an escalating issue there.

From the Organizer:

I would love to see one in New Waterford as food insecurity is an escalating issue here. As some may know we scored 3rd in line to MB2 & Eski in regards to high child poverty rates.
I often call us the Forgotten Town that back in the 90s pumped out coal and prosperity for this island and has since then been abandoned by the government once the mines closed.
I am looking for volunteers to help crowdfund a Food Pantry for NW.
I am also interested in Upcycling old cabinets if anyone would like to donate. I have accumulated a small team of volunteers who are eager to make this project come to life.

The project has launched a 50/50 block fundraiser that has plenty of numbers still available!

This fundraising activity is just the first phase of the project to get some start-up capital to build the pantry (or panties). It will be a "Give what you can" and "Take what you need" free to the needy public food pantry. If you wish to help in any way, please send a message via the Facebook page or email above.
Labour, Materials, food and money will be gratefully accepted.
Please share & help NW get a weatherproofed Free Food Pantry!
