 April's School Fuel powered by PEAC

Do you like snacks?  Do you like to eat snacks?  Do you want to eat more snacks at school?  

Well you are in luck!

PEAC, in partnership with the Sharing Place, is running our April- School Fuel Campaign.  

The Sharing Place Food Centre is a key player in providing 23 Orillia area schools with healthy snacks and lunches.  To that end, the Sharing Place is partnering with all Orillia schools to raise money to help expand this amazing program.  

Your PEAC Team has been marketing this program over the last week and is looking to educate students and their families on this awesome program.  We are also looking to help fund it with donations from families, friends, community members and businesses.  When directing donators to the Sharing Place donate page, be sure to have people include TLSS- School Fuel in the comments section.  Further, our community partner Home Hardware has committed to matching all donations to a maximum of $20,000.  

Now, THAT is some big time snacking Twin!

So let's get after it and push School Fuel in our homes, with friends and in our community!

Thank you from PEAC and The Sharing Place
