Food Bank

Demand for food banks on the rise with 1,000 new users per month in Greater Vancouver

Food Bank demand is up everywhere this year. Richard Bulpitt Elementary has an annual tradition of collecting food bank donations leading up to the break. This year, we are collecting cash (well, School Cash Online) donations rather than food. We’ve been reading that cash donations help food banks more than food donations do, as they can take advantage of some economies of scale and can access fresh food too.

Managing Holiday Stress – For Kids

I probably shared this last year, and I’ll probably share it again next year. This article from the Harvard School of Medicine offers ways (some easier said than done, mind you) to help manage kids’ holiday stress, because we all know it’s not just excitement that’s in the air.
