Valoris comes to the aid of local food banks. The COVID-19 pandemic has had one unexpected side effect. Seven of the 10 food bank operations in the Prescott-Russell region need more non-perishable food item donations to help support families kept housebound with the adults unable to go to work. In April, the Valoris Foundation organized two food drives, asking its employees with Valoris for Children and Adults to help collect donations to aid local food banks. They collected more than $3000 worth of food items and donations to share among the food banks. “Most of the Valoris employees live in Prescott-Russell,” said Hélène Fournier, Valoris executive director. “They are invested in their community, both professionally and personally. You notice it right away when you
look at what has been collected in such a short time.” Valoris’ services for mental health sup- port for children or parenting aid and advice also continue during the current pandemic. More than $3000 worth of food items and other donations were collected by Valoris employees to assist local food banks in need of supplies to stock their shelves for homebound families and individuals in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.. —supplied photo
