The Gary Bennett Family Fund and its supporters donated $3,500 in support of infants in the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank’s No Hungry Children Campaign and Tiny Bundles Program.

In addition to monthly food hampers, the program provides pregnant mothers and families with children under the age of one with weekly nutritional supplements including fruit and vegetables, milk, eggs, meat and baked goods, along with diapers, baby food and formula.

“Baby products are incredibly expensive to buy and we couldn’t be more grateful for the many years of support from the Gary Bennett Family Fund," says Trevor Moss CEO of the Okanagan Food Bank.

“Last year we had 1,356 visits to our Tiny Bundle’s program which has a budget of over $183,000 per year to run. The addition of these products will go a long way to ensure local families have the support they need to provide a healthy life for their children."
