Basics for Babies helps hundreds in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Babies rely on their parents for food, shelter, and security. When circumstance makes it difficult for parents to provide for their young children, it’s important the community steps in and helps that family provide, which is exactly what Kamloops did this morning, at the 10th annual Basics for Babies, held in support of the Kamloops Food Bank.
It’s a shocking statistic:n 800 babies in our community rely on the Kamloops Food Bank for necessities for their development. It’s a staggering number, which continues to rise, which is why the annual B-100 Basics for Babies is in it’s 10th year, helping raise necessary funds to support the most vulnerable people in the community.
‘These babies deserve the basics, so they can develop in a health manner,” Food Bank Executive Director Bernadette Siracky told CFJC Today. “It’s our responsibility as a community to ensure they have everything that they need.”
