So sorry this post has taken so long!
We are going to partner with the local community run program called “The Nest” it is a program run by Rebound Sarnia!!
They have two programs one for kids ages 12 to 15 that offers a safe place for the kids to come and hang out in a safe environment I There is space to do their homework. They feed them 2 to 3 times a week dinner where the kids are required to help out learn life skills and whatever the situation is at home. It is a place that they can attend without judgment.
The other program is 16 to 24 offers programs that help with paperwork paperwork for housing assistance, job applications interviews they offer a closet per se of clothes that anyone in attendance of either program can take!
As a community here we will be helping with their pantry that is in need of canned goods cereals sometimes when these kids are getting there when the program starts at 2 o’clock, they haven’t eaten yet… also allows the kids to take some food home from their pantry for siblings that might not had a full meal yet.
Our family is going to join them for dinner once a month where we will supply all of the food and we will cook it with them and we will eat with them and really get to know these kids and let them know that they’re part of our community!!!
With this partnership, I have asked some of the people that are in our golf community that have resources, Noppens are going to donate eggs, Jack Pines is going to donate some milk and some meat and a friend of mine that runs the stand at the market with pepperettes and lunch meat will be donating lunch meat each week to help with school lunches and healthy snacks !!!
If anybody wants to join in this, the pantry is always looking for canned goods. Soups cereal is a big one macaroni and cheese, Mr. noodles frozen pizzas.
Also will be working directly with them myself on a weekly basis screen to post maybe some of the things that they’re more in dire need of !!
Look forward to Our Golf 4 Owen community to being part of the change!
