YORKTON – Members of the Yorkton Lions Club presented a $2500 to the Dr. Brass Nutrition Program on the morning of Nov. 24 at an assmbly held in the school's gymnasium.
"It helps out with cost of food, cost of utensils...it just goes a long way to help feed the kids," said Amanda Banga, Nutrition Worker with Dr. Brass, of the donation.
The breakfast program runs each morning at the school and delivers toast, cereals, yogourts, apples and oranges to students who may otherwise go without.
"We serve anywhere from 35–40 kids a day—so it's a big chunk—and with groceries going up now it helps a lot," said Banga.
"We make it an enjoyable environment for the kids to start off their day."
