Bethune students are gearing up for our annual 10 Most Wonderful Days of the Year fundraising event, where we come together as a school community to raise money for a charity. This year, the students have chosen to raise money for Feed Scarbrough.

Feed Scarborough, part of the Scarborough Food Security Initiative, is dedicated to reducing poverty and ensuring dignified access to food in the Scarborough community. The program operates six food banks and a mobile healthy meal service that provides over 2,000 meals weekly from a food truck.  They also manage three community gardens and two farmers’ markets. In addition to immediate food assistance, Feed Scarborough offers long-term support through various programs, including culinary training, business incubation, and wellness initiatives.  Their mission is to empower the community and address the root causes of food insecurity.

Throughout the final 10 days of school prior to the winter break December 9-20, students will have a variety of activities or events aimed at raising money to support this program. We will also be holding a food drive, where students can bring in non-perishable food and hygiene products. We encourage all students to support this worthwhile initiative.
