VIDEO: Big Donation Gives Free Lunch Program A Future

570 kids will have free, hot lunches for the next 2 years, after Potash Corp donated $25,000 to the Chicken Noodle Club. The Chicken Noodle Club provides hot lunches to needy young people and was in danger of shutting down a few weeks back.

Brian Earle has been treasurer for club for over 17 years, he says the donation was a wonderful surprise since they've never had close contacts with Potash Corp before.


Founder and Common Councillor Donnie Snook tells CHSJ news this year they saw a huge increase and demand for the club.  He says the money will go directly towards the food and keep them going for another two years. 

Potash Corp GM Stuart Brown says when they heard the program was close to closing, they jumped on board to help. Brown laughed saying a lot of the kids were asking if they could cash the cheque themselves.


The program provides lunch for 3 different schools, 3-5 days a week.
