A food buying club has been started up at the North Bay Indian Friendship Centre. Executive Director Nancy Potvin was instrumental in getting this program running.
Once a month staff and volunteers pack Good Food Boxes with fresh vegetables and fruit. Any Friendship Centre client can preorder and prepay $20 for a box at the beginning of each month. The Good Food Box full of fresh produce is ready for pick up at the Centre on the third week of the month.
