Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food have been collected at schools and distributed to food banks throughout the region in the past 5 years during the Greater Essex County District School Boardβs We Care - We Can campaign.
During the last 2 weeks of November 2012, Massey conducted drives for canned goods and non-perishable food items, collecting over 4000 items. They were then picked up by Mayflower Moving and Storage and delivered to designated food banks or to St. Vincent de Paul for distribution to food banks across Windsor and Essex County.
This unique partnership of the GECDSB, community agencies and a private sector corporate partner allows for a maximum effort in each school community because the responsibility of moving a large contribution has been assumed by Mayflower Moving and Storage.
