She added that there are
also more supplies of food

asked us if we wanted money

The food bank benefitted
from a successful December
appeal for the Salvation Ar-
my’s Christrnas hamper pro-
gram in that any surplus is
carried over to the bank.

Tomorrow is the last day
for the January distribution
at the Evangelical Free
Church's youth centre. It is

meant for those people who
for some reason failed to
come the past three days
where distribution is based
on alphabetical order.

One solution he sees is form-

here.

Although some literacy pro-

District Community Services,
he said, ‘‘There’s not a lot of
awareness in the community
that those programs ave there."

The objective is to bring
together educators, government
agencies and the potential
learners.

‘We want to hear from those
who will use the program, what
they want and what kind of help

they would need, ” Bolingbroke
said.

Bolingbroke said the goal is
to establish a learning centre in

would offer literacy and English

The group also hoped to be able
to offer subsidized child care
for students,

However, those plans as well
as a targeted September start-up
date for the centre would de-
pend on the group obtaining the
necessary money,
