ALL THAT KIDS CAN BE!

United Way/Centraide Windsor-Essex County
ran a pilot Summer Lunch program to ensure kids
who rely on school nutrition programs don’t go
hungry throughout the summer. CHC`s Summer
Recreation Program in our St. Joseph-Bloomfield
and Curry-McKay communities were part of
this innovative and appreciated program. At the
wrap-up event, three Windsor-built Dodge Grand
Caravans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans
arrived, loaded with backpacks filled with school
supplies for kids in the program, thanks to gener-
ous donors including Staples on Ouellette Avenue
and the FCA Windsor Assembly Plant. Each back-
pack contained a new book, donated from A Book
of My Own Literacy Campaign.
