Along with the food donation, Post presented a cheque for $3,000 to Cornerstone to purchase anything else that is needed.
Although it wasn’t food related, Cunningham reached out to ask if there was anyway bicycle helmets could be included.

Eight helmets were also purchased and included in the donation.
Cunningham said Cornerstone is so grateful for the donation.

“With prices of everything going up – we are really feeling that “push, and programs like this really assist us.”
Cunningham said, “without this support we wouldn’t be able to help as many women and children as we do.”
