In February of 2008, Roseau Valley School began serving students food from 8:30 to 8:55 am to meet their nutritional needs. The funding for this program is provided by the Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba, which runs the CRAM program. (http://childnutritioncouncil.com/)
Food provided includes oranges, apples, kiwi, carrots, cheese, eggs, juice boxes, banana bread and some special items that come in week by week.
The Calderwoods at DC FoodTown have been an amazing help in supplying and preparing the pickup of the food for us.
Recent donations to the breakfast program at RVS have been made by:
The RVS Reunion Committee 2022.
Several people from our community have donated food to the program as well:
Mona Meitner
Shelley Spence
Judy Thiessen
Marg Anstett
Todd & Liz Nichols
Sandra Dickson
