Bob Beck and Lloyd Jensen
Local ICF supporter Lloyd Jensen contacted us when he could not donate to a local food bank online. He said, “we need to change that.”
In a very short timeframe, Lloyd opened a new fund and made a significant contribution. The Nutrition Support Fund will provide annual funding to the Interlake Food Bank in Stonewall and the Teulon and District Food Bank and Services Inc.
The new Fund is permanently endowed, which means only the income of the donations will be spent, ensuring sustainable annual funding for both organizations. As the Fund grows, so will the annual disbursement to the food banks.
Donations to this Fund, as well as our other funds, are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
If you wish to support the Nutrition Support Fund, your donation can be made in several ways:
