Let's do lunch
It's as easy as sending $10 or $20 or any amount you choose and that money can help feed a community. We are raising funds to help support the Baker Lake soup kitchen and the Resolute Bay Food bank. Please help us to help our Northern Neighbours. These communities rely on our continued support to help feed those in need. 100% of all donations go directly to these programs. Be the good you want to see in this world.
