Live Free participants will pledge to Live Free of a daily treat and
donate the money that they would normally spend on that item. All money
raised will go to Food and Friends to support 58 student nutrition
programs in
Participants
that have already accepted the challenge are the Upper Grand District
School Board, the Wellington Catholic District School Board, Liz

"It
shocked me to realize that by simply giving up my morning coffee, I
could donate enough money to provide lunch for 3 children in the Food
and Friends program! A small change on my part would fill 3 tummies,
and provide kids with the energy they need to learn: it seems like such
a small sacrifice!" – Susan Cook-Scheerer
