Winter Wonderland gives to Food Basket
The Orville Standup Memorial Food Basket has now officially been presented with the $20,000 check from the Kateri Memorial Foundation (KMF), with the money having been raised by the 10th edition of Karonhiaráhstha’s Winter Wonderland.
Last Friday, KMF board member Lisa Skye and office administrator Sandra Schurman presented Food Basket coordinator Cory Rice with a giant check as well as $13,600 in Shop Kahnawake gift cards, which will be included in the Food Basket’s Christmas delivery this year.
“Thank you to everyone involved, I know a lot of work goes into planning the Winter Wonderland event,” said Rice.
The two representatives of the KMF were proud to be able to give the money and the Shop Kahnawake cards to the Food Basket this year.
“It feels good, because we’re helping our own community. We are able to give back to the community in one of the most essential ways, meaning feeding them, especially during the holidays,” said Schurman.
Skye said the choice to go with Shop Kahnawake cards will give greater liberty to choose what is needed to those that will receive the cards - worth $100 or $200 depending on number of people in the household.
“People that are in need know what they need. They can take those gift cards and buy what they need,” said Skye.
