With our WISE April Gala cancelled and our lunches on hold for an undetermined amount of time, I wanted to reach out and provide you with some information during this stressful time.

I'm also working on a list of businesses that have and are continuing to offer their products or services (i.e. online fitness classes, etc.) with either delivery or curbside pick up, through website, email, Facebook, etc., however you are doing it I want to know about it so I can make a list to share on several social media sites. Please send me an email louise@cfeastcentral.ca with your name, business name, what you have and how we can purchase, and include a link. In the subject line use "For Business List".
We want to keep the shopping that is still happening, happening in our own towns!
