Hey everyone, My name is Marli and I am home with my family during self-isolation. I am a small business owner from the city of London, Ontario.
Since the Covid-19 outbreak I want to create a program for the children who are not eating well right now. I know many parents and their children look forward to the school programs where lunch and snacks are readily available.
Now, I want to make lunches and snacks for these families, free for them, where we leave it at the door to respect social distancing and we can insure that these little ones are eating well. And to add a little fun to their day, a colouring book and markers or crayons... just something that we can think of to brighten their day and to take the heavy burden off of these parents or guardians who are trying so hard to keep it together. All disinfected and not taken out of their packaging.
This Go Fund Me is to accept donations from anyone who wants to help, big or small (we would be donating as well) so we can reach out to more families. My partner and I work in industries that require gloves and masks (he's a Chef and I make perfumes and work with plant matter) so we are prepared to make anything but are also completely ready to just send canned items. That being said, we also will be accepting donations through canned and boxed food items. Anything packaged.
The money will be used to buy all the food needed. Whatever is leftover will be donated (assuming there will be anything left). It will be just the two of us doing this to ensure that these packages are made in an singular, isolated place. We have a harvest table and a workspace to do this in.
Each package is being planned to include:
- Case of Juice Boxes
- Canned or boxed goods to last a week or a Loaf of Bread and spread of choice (these things will be discussed during the ordering process)
- Snacks in packages
- Puzzle or other activity included
When an order is put through (which would be done through email) the following questions will have to be answered to ensure the most help is given:
1. How many children? (This is to tailor food and activity)
2. Any dietary restrictions/allergies?
3. Address (wherein we would let you know the drop off times)
We're not here to sift through who is sincere or not. We're here to fix a growing problem. This is what community does in a time of crisis.
Anything helps no matter what you can give. This is a trying time for all of us. Even if you can't donate, please share this campaign to help spread the love and good vibes. I hope everyone is hanging onto hope.
