Hello Sonshine,
With Thanksgiving this weekend, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you, and to reflect on what this holiday means to many in our community.
As we gather with friends and family, and share meals made with love, it can be easy to forget that food may not be as comforting and joyful for those in vulnerable situations. Studies show that women experiencing domestic violence are at a higher risk for food insecurity, and this may increase after leaving the relationship or abusive environment.
Thanks to Sonshine supporters like Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd., we're pleased to announce to return of our Blessingdales Market! Hosted by dedicated Sonshine volunteers every two weeks, the Blessingdales Market offers residents the opportunity to shop freely for canned goods, non-perishable items, toiletries and cleaning products.
Knowing this program is there helps alleviate some of the food insecurities experienced by out residents, while creating an opportunity for them to gather in groups and shop together.
If you're interested in participating in this program, please reach out to volunteer@sonshine.ca.
From all of us at Sonshine Community Services...Thank you!
