There is still time to buy your tickets for the Every Breakfast Counts 50/50 draw!
A drive-by ticket sale will take place Friday, October 28 at the Harvest Algoma parking lot (446 Second Line East) from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Tickets are $5 each. The draw will be held inside Harvest Algoma at 1 p.m.
All proceeds from the draw will go towards supporting the future operations of Every Breakfast Counts. In total, approximately 8,500 meals were distributed this past summer – free of charge – to local children. Over an eight week period from July to August, an average of 1,066 meals were distributed; exceeding the target of 850 meals per week.
Background
Every Breakfast Counts was conceptualized in the spring of 2018 as a means to address a service gap in the community by providing meals to youth who rely on breakfast programming offered during the school year.
Ongoing coordination is facilitated by the Every Breakfast Counts committee, comprised of the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Mayor and CAO Offices, District of Sault Ste. Marie Social Services, United Way Harvest Algoma, Algoma Family Services, Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre, Indigenous Friendship Centre, Child Care Algoma and EarlyON Child and Family Centre.
