Chicken Noodle Club Saved From Closing Its Hot Lunch Programme

Irving Oil coming forward with a 35 thousand dollar lifeline to the Chicken Noodle Club to keep it's three locations from closing. Gary Bischoff of Irving Oil tells CHSJ News the company has been a supporter since 2002 because studies have shown children have difficulty learning when their stomachs are empty.

The Chicken Noodle Club is operated by the Inner City Youth Ministry. Its Director Donnie Snook tells CHSJ News this donation comes just in the nick of time.

Snook says this funding could lead to a fourth Chicken Noodle Club being set up. There are more than 400 children registered with over 30 thousand meals served each year.
