Community Care Northumberland, in partnership with Roda’s Kitchen sold a lot of cookies in the lead-up to Easter – over 750 boxes worth.
For the ‘Meals on Wheels’ program, that means funding for 1000 meals, thanks in part to a last-minute donation from Lynn Hardy of RBC Dominion Securities.
Meals on Wheels is a vital program offered by CCN that provides hot and frozen, nutritious meals to seniors and adults with disabilities who are unable to cook for themselves due to various reasons. The funds raised through the Easter Cookies fundraiser will directly benefit this program, ensuring that vulnerable individuals in the community have access to nutritious meals.
CCN Manager of Nutrition Services Sheri Birney gave a special shout out to Lucy at Roda’s Kitchen for her incredible cookie craftsmanship and support.
