We are asking all SFN members who hear about volunteers, food, and financial donations, to please have them contact Cathy Banks at (519) 374-3963.
Also, we are encouraging all SFN band-staff and members to seriously consider volunteering, if you have had both vaccinations and are 15 days past your second vaccination shot. We sure could use the help! We have had about 4 community members volunteer with most of our volunteers coming from off-reserve. Also, we have been fortunate to have many of our Health Department staff assisting daily. Chi-Miigwetch!
