TELETHON CONTRIBUTES $15,000 TOWARDS FOOD VOUCHERS

No family in Cochrane will go hungry this Christmas, if the Lions Club and the food bank have an say in the matter.

The Lions have turned over a cheque to food bank manager Claude Rocheleau..

“This year, we did get $15,000,” Rocheleau explains, “ which goes towards our vouchers, food vouchers that we donate to needy people in Cochrane.”
