Volunteers team up to serve a Christmas meal
$500 for Rachel’s Kids This year, instead of handing out Christmas cards, Tim McCuaig took the $500 that he would’ve spent on Christmas cards and made a donation to Rachel’s Kids. The owners of Cornwall Hyundai, where McCuaig is employed, also stepped up and matched the $500 donation. Pictured are Tim McCuaig, Dr. Rachel Navaneelan, Bev Lapointe and Kim Lauzon. Rachel’s Kids is a charitable organization supported through community contributions and corporate donations.

Pictured are Sebastian, Angele, Brejana, Sophie, Yvon, Elizabeth, Ludwik (cook), Brad, and Mikalah. The Agapè Centre is a non-profit organization that is open to help people in the community. Their three main programs are the Food Bank, Soup Kitchen and a Thrift Shoppe.
