The Noelle’s Gift Foundation has donated $10,660 to the Chatham-Kent Student Nutrition Program, which provides nutritious meal and snack programs to more than 6,500 students in 50 school programs across the municipality.
“This generous donation by Noelle’s Gift will greatly assist the Chatham-Kent Student Nutrition Program in its mandate to provide nutrition support, so that children are well-nourished and ready to learn,” said Elaine Lewis, coordinator of the Chatham-Kent Student Nutrition Program.
Noelle’s Gift is a Sarnia-Lambton charity that was established following the death in January 2013 of Noelle Paquette, a former kindergarten teacher with the St. Clair Catholic District School Board.
Noelle’s Gift funds organizations which support children.
