Community feast!
The Nishnawbe-Gamik Friendship Centre (NGFC) served approximately 300 people at their annual community feast on Dec. 6. Ten turkeys, 10 hams, and 100 pounds of potatoes were served during the evening.
NGFC Executive Director Jennifer Thomas thanked the Leadership Class at Sioux Mountain Public School for making 600 tarts for dessert and peeling the potatoes.
“It’s what Christmas is all about, sharing, giving, spending time together, seeing people happy,” Thomas said of the free feast, adding, “It’s really our way of showing our appreciation to the membership, to the community, to all of our clients, for their support throughout the year… it’s our way of spreading the love, the Seven Grandfather Teachings, and saying thank-you for all the support throughout the year.”
