Dear WEJ Students, Parents & Guardians,

           This year W. Erskine Johnston PS is taking a simple, but very meaningful initiative into our hands by supporting ‘The Kanata Food Cupboard.’ We will be taking donations of canned foods, non-perishable items, gift cards and monetary donations the week of May 6th-10th. 

The most needed items for the Kanata Food Cupboard are:

– Canned Fish (tuna fish) & canned meat
– Canned vegetables & fruit – Legumes (canned or dried) such as kidney beans, black beans and lentils
– Cereal
– Dried pasta & pasta sauce
– Peanut butter, jam, pudding, juice boxes
– Rice, especially jasmine and basmati rice
– Canned stews & chilli

– School snacks (granola bars, and crackers), pudding, fruit cups, applesauce and juice boxes  

– Dates, prunes, figs

– Soups

– Baby diapers (especially size 3-6), baby food, formula

– Shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, toilet paper

– Grocery store gift cards

– Monetary donations to the Kanata Food Cupboard (tax receipts will be issued)

Please check the expiration date on all non-perishable food items. Sunscreen is not accepted. Peanut and other nut products are permitted as long as they are fully sealed. 

     Your participation is greatly appreciated and we would like to help many members of our community needing food assistance.

 Thank you in advance for your support,

WEJ Staff
