The Minden Community Food Centre is handing out food again today to those affected by flooding. Volunteers will be at the Nesbitt Arena with sandwiches, soup, coffee, and cookies starting at 12:00pm.
Then, at 5-:30 this afternoon another hot meal will be served. Anyone affected by flooding is welcome to go over. If you’re in need of certain items, there will be various donations that can be picked up from noon until 6:00pm.
For those able to help out, the flood relief centre is looking for toiletries, like deodorant, hand soap, toothpaste, and brushes, as well as bedding, and towels. Chair Marilynne Lesperance says those were the items most needed during the 2013 flooding.
Any donations can be dropped off at the Minden Food Centre at 24 Newcastle. Or, contact Lesperance or Kim Russel at 705 286-6838 or 705 286-2990.
