The Breakfast in a Bag program has delivered over 15 hundred bags to families in the community since last April.

That according to Pastor Mel Versluis from the Thompson Pentecostal Assembly, which has been running the program since the pandemic hit Manitoba.

Versluis says the program has been able to run for as long as it has thanks to the help provided by individuals, businesses, and organizations such as the Thompson Community Foundation. He explains that grant funding has also assisted in operating Breakfast in a Bag.

Residents interested in either helping Breakfast in a Bag or signing up to receive a monthly delivery can visit thompson church DOT ca.
