NoahStrong Team donates big to Callander’s food bank
This past weekend the Noah Strong Day Ball Hockey Tournament was held at the Bill Barber rink in Callander. The tournament raises funds for the NoahStrong Foundation, a charitable organization that raises money for various causes.
During the event, organizers donated a portion of the proceeds to help the Callander and District Foodbank at 78 Lansdowne Street, and the $1,000 donation was “very much appreciated” by those at the foodbank.
So explained Maureen Carriere, one of the founders of the foodbank. She noted that the summer months are usually a little lean for food banks. The high point for donations is around the holidays – “people were so generous over Christmas” – but the summer is when donations tend to dry up.
