We are Moving!

NEWS FLASH!

This morning the council of the Township of Muskoka Lakes gave final approval of the move of the food bank from the First Muskoka Church to a new location in the Glen Orchard Community Centre located directly across from the Glen Orchard Public Elementary School.

We are sad to say good bye to the First Muskoka Church location and the generosity of the folks there who have provided us with accommodation for the past 5 years.  However they have assured us of their continued commitment to our cause and their blessing. We thank them very much for helping us get started.

As our programs grow and client base increases we find ourselves in need of more space.  The basement of the community centre is ideal for this.  There is lots of room to house all of the food bank in 1 room.  In addition there is potential for starting a thrift store and/or a community kitchen in the future.  Access is improved with fewer stairs.  The location is right across from the school where a number of our client families attend.

Be assured that, although we are no longer in a church building, we remain a faith based organisation committed to welcoming and loving people of all faiths or no faith at all.

We will be moving next Thursday am from 9:00 – 11:00 am.  If you have time to help us then or help pack boxes a few days before, please call Marilyn at 705 644 4345.  Thank you.
