Helping Nunavut’s hungry

The Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank received 4,500 kg of food from the Ottawa Food Bank, donated by Loblaws and transported by Canadian North, on Sunday, Dec. 9, and Monday, Dec. 10.

Fresh fruit was later delivered to the Qajuqturvik Society, while non-perishable food was provided to the Qajuqturvik Society. “We are always concerned with helping to reduce food insecurity in our Community,” Wallick said. “Our mission statement is: Hunger is not an option, when you have, you share.” (SUBMITTED PHOTO)
