According to UNICEF Canada, one in four Canadian children go to school or bed hungry because there is not enough food to eat at home. To help relieve local children of hunger, the Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) has a Children Nutrient Backpack Program. Working alongside charity members and sponsor companies, this program supports inner-city school children by providing them with nutritious food.
Each week, the charity donates groceries to the Strathcona Community Center’s Food Security Program to support low-income families in the local community. Since 2014, more than 20,000 lbs of grocery products have been donated.
Although the LLCS has done significant work to relieve children and their families of hunger, the LLCS hopes to continue the momentum and maximize their impact on the community. If you are able, please support the charity’s “End Childhood Hunger” Campaign to help hungry school children across the lower Mainland.
