Riverdale Harvest food bank has been in our new location (at Zion Church), with a new schedule for disbursements, for a couple of months now. We are happy to see people are finding us at our new location. We now have a drop-in disbursement method. Anyone can attend anytime between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon on any Thursday. You can come as often as once every two weeks to pick up a hamper. We are striving to make access easier and more consistent for both clients and volunteers.

One of the goals of Women’s Institute (WI) is to provide education for its members. Rivers WI, like most branches, plans its programs a year in advance so members know what’s coming up and when. In November one of the many topics that were suggested was Parkinson’s. Pat Wood took on the task of finding a speaker; members welcomed Charlotte Potwondy, Westman co-ordinator for Parkinson’s Canada, to the April meeting.
