Partners for People

As part of June 2nd Hunger Awareness Day, Bracebridge’s Agilec (formerly Northern Lights) decided to engage its staff in a Food Challenge Cook-off.

Agilec works to provide tools and services to help achieve employment. Each staff member prepared a course for lunch based upon items found on the Manna Grocery List. In addition, they had to include a secret ingredient- chickpeas.

The competition was fierce, and the results delicious; take it from this Manna Board member, who got to judge the results. Discussion entred on how Manna and Agilec could work more closely together to assist many of the same clientele. In addition, a donation of food and money was made to Manna by this industrious staff.

Indeed, this is one partnership that “really cooks”!
