September is Hunger Action Month

Right here in South Niagara, many of our neighbours don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Parents skipping dinner so their kids don’t have to, seniors stretching a fixed income to the last dollar, families one bad week from empty cupboards

We see this every day through our food bank. You can help change that

For the month of August, we are recognizing Morgan Gabrys, for actively practicing our Value In Action: We are all accountable to one another
 
Morgan demonstrates accountability through her actions, her relationships with others, and her commitment to the success of the team. She consistently treats everyone with respect and helps create a culture where people feel welcomed, valued, and supported. When new staff members join the team, Morgan takes responsibility for helping them feel included and confident in their new role, recognizing that supporting others strengthens the entire team

Over the past year, Morgan has grown into a strong Program Facilitator who takes ownership of challenges and contributes positively to resolving them. When she identifies an issue, she speaks up and comes prepared with thoughtful, practical solutions. Her willingness to take responsibility, support her colleagues, and work collaboratively toward better outcomes reflects the belief that we are all accountable to one another. Morgan’s reliability, integrity, and solution-focused approach make her an important and trusted member of the team

Talk about an incredible community effort! 💙

The All Hands on Deck Food Drive, organized by Hustle & Heart 91.7 Giant FM and & Heart Niagara's New Country 89.1, brought in an amazing 1,004 pounds of non-perishable food and $840 for the Reach Out Centre!

A huge thank you to Line Machinery Ltd for serving as a drop-off location and rallying its team and the community behind the drive. Together, Lift Line employees contributed $520, community members donated another $220, and 789 pounds of food were collected!

We are also so grateful to Nicholsonfenceandconstruction and everyone who supported their collection, which brought in $100 and 215 pounds of food.

Thank you to the teams at both locations, the radio stations that brought everyone together, and every community member who donated. It truly took all hands on deck, and your generosity will help our neighbours in need. 🥫🙌
