It started with five families.
In the first year, the campaign provided $500 worth of food to five families. Each package included the pieces of a Christmas meal, along with practical groceries that could help for several days.
Last year, the effort doubled. With another $1,000 contributed by Avalon Lodge, the campaign reached $2,000 and helped 20 local families.
This year, the goal is to raise $5,000 through sponsors, personal donations, and community support in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
