Last week, the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakinak Food Bank supported those in need with hampers so they can enjoy a Christmas dinner.
With help and support from a number of community organizations and volunteers, MKO made up 600 Christmas hampers.
Gina Spence, the Food Bank Supervisor, said that the hamper initiative will see over 25-hundred people able to enjoy a holiday meal.
MKO is also holding Open House events at all three Thompson locations this Thursday from 11 am to 3 pm.
Visit the MKO Food Bank at 31 Nelson Road, the Main Office at 55 Selkirk Avenue, and their Youth Healing Lodge at 20 Wapusk Drive. There will be refreshments, pictures with Santa and an entry for a grand prize for those who visit all three sites.
