Letter to the Editor
The Kanata Food Cupboard wishes to express its THANKS to the Kanata Community for its
support in response to a serious drop in our food donations.
The present lowered food inventories of The Kanata Food Cupboard represents the effects
of the serious downturn in the local economy and an attendant growth in the demands on
the Kanata social support system.
The Kanata Food Cupboard will continue to support our clients in a manner unmatched by
other support facilities. By operating as an independent agency, the Kanata Food Cupboard
has over the last quarter century been enabled to support our community, as well as other
social support agencies elsewhere in the greater Ottawa community.
With the continued support of the residents of Kanata, we shall continue to ensure that
those most affected by the economic downturn shall receive appropriate support.
James Wiper
Chair, Board of Directors
Kanata Food Cupboard.
Attention:
Due to changes in our finances, the Kanata Food Cupboard will no longer be purchasing
non-food items. From now on these shall only by provided as available out of donated stock.
