The @BarrhavenFood is at risk of closing its doors at the end of the year if it isn’t able to raise $180K in time. Ken McCarthy, president of the #Barrhaven Food Cupboard, told @radiokristy on #OTTAWA NOW what the team is doing in the meantime to keep serving its clients.

The EFO’s LIFT Campaign gives vulnerable children the boost they need and the opportunities they deserve.
When up to 40% of Ottawa students start school without a proper foundation for learning, a little LIFT can make a big difference
Donate today. Visit theliftcampaign.com/
