🚌🛑 Remember to stop for buses so kids can get to school safely.

We hope all the kids have a great first day!!! ♥️

🚗 Attention drivers! It’s time!

🚦 Stay alert around school bus stops. Children might not always follow traffic rules, so drive cautiously and be ready to react quickly.

📱 Stay off your phone and avoid distractions while driving (it’s also the law). A moment of inattention could have serious consequences.

Serving 4,000 meals and assisting 3,500 individuals every month is no small potatoes, and we’re honoured to be revisiting them on this year’s .

Join us as we get a sneak peek of their repurposed and newly renovated space, learn about the intricacies of being both a food bank and a provincial association, and have our hope for the future renewed by their committed donors and volunteers.

Over to them! Tune in to this space today at 11am EST to learn more.

L’insécurité alimentaire est un enjeu de taille, même dans la plus petite province du Canada. Depuis 2019, l’organisme Upper Room Hospitality Ministry de Charlottetown, à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, a constaté que la demande pour ses services a augmenté de 110 %.

Servir 4 000 repas et aider 3 500 personnes chaque mois, ce n’est pas rien, et nous sommes honorés de revoir ses membres dans le cadre de la tournée cette année.

Joignez-vous à nous pour obtenir un aperçu de l’espace réaménagé et récemment rénové de l’organisme, découvrir les subtilités qui caractérisent le fait d’être à la fois une banque alimentaire et une association provinciale, et retrouver espoir en l’avenir grâce à ses donateurs et bénévoles dévoués.

𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒 🤩⛳️

We are proud to say that $20,000 is going to The Upper Room Hospitality Ministry Inc. (PEI Food Banks). We put the call out to help fight food insecurity on PEI and our friends, partners, and sponsors all delivered in a huge way.

On July 18 we hosted the first Fairways for Food Banks 4-person scramble at Glasgow Hills Golf Club with 31 great teams taking part. The rain held off (sort of) and everyone left the course with smiles on their faces!

There were tons of winners on the day, but a big congratulations to Dougan Insurance Group for their main event win via tiebreaker! Cooke Insurance Group and MacLean Electric were close behind.

Steamatic PEI also generously donated their 50/50 winnings back to the cause.

We're already looking forward to next year! Get in touch if you'd like to be involved.
