Libro Credit Union Supports WECAF Mobile Food Enrichment Program

Libro Credit Union through the Libro Annual Grants has provided a $20,000 cheque to the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation (WECAF) for the establishment of a Mobile Food Enrichment Program. 

Through a partnership with Lee & Maria’s of Kingsville, the program will support the nutritional needs of youth living independently. The program will provide a box of fresh foods per month to 34 youth transitioning out of the care of the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society and living independently. Youth will be able to select the foods of their choice on-line.

These youth face challenging circumstances including access to food.  The project aims to ensure a reliable food source is available for youth in need. Research indicates that a balanced healthy diet including fresh foods promotes good mental and physical health as well as encouraging motivation and enhanced self-confidence.

Libro Credit Union and WECAF were at Lee & Maria’s at 692 Seacliff Drive, Kingsville on October 5  to celebrate this innovative new program.
