Along with the non-perishable food items, participants can win larger prizes, like gift cards that can be used to purchase meats and produce
The Niagara Region Métis Council has found a fun way to engage senior citizens and build community while also providing them help to combat food insecurity.
“They won’t admit it,” says Niagara Region Métis Council President Derek Pont. “But a lot of them are living alone and off of pensions.”
With help from a Métis Nation of Ontario food security program, Pont and the local Council were able to use the money to purchase non-perishable food items to hand out to Métis seniors living in the Niagara Region.
