Julie Pettigrew, Canadian Mental Health Association-South Cariboo Branch (CMHA-SCB) Homeless Outreach worker, says there has been a considerable increase in clients who are always in need of food in 100 Mile House.
Pettigrew wants to put the word out to see if area residents can offer any donations for the CMHA-SCB Homeless Outreach program.
"Some of what I’m looking for is canned fruit, canned chicken, tuna, ham, canned milk, cereal, soup, peanut butter and bread.
She could also use a deep freeze, which is approximately two feet deep by three feet wide, so she can store food in her office for client who need items that can be frozen.
Folks who can help out or need more information can reach Pettigrew at 250-706-7599 or e-mail julie_cmha@shaw.ca.
