The Christmas Dinner Meal Box items are in! Fresh Food Weekly is happy to announce that the items for our annual Christmas dinner meal box have been determined and this year, our recipients are going to have an extra special Christmas dinner! And this year, we're hoping to raise enough money to do 100 meal boxes!
These Christmas dinner meal boxes will be delivered on Monday, Dec. 19th, 2022, periodically throughout the day, with the first deliveries taking place at 11am. We are still looking for volunteers to help out with some food pickups on Friday, Dec. 16th, as well as with some meal box deliveries on the 19th. If you're interested in helping out, please send Leah Dyck an email at: ffwbarrie@gmail.com.
