The Joshua Group is hoping the 100 thousand dollar contribution from the Potash Corporation will be the boost it needs in its fundraising campaign.
Kathy Curwin, who chairs the Joshua Group, tells CHSJ News there's still a long way to go to raise enough money to renovate an existing building on Sandy Point Road into a mess hall that would feed 100 young people as well as building an addition.
Curwin says the total cost of the project will be something like half a million dollars and the 100 thousand from Potash NB has to be matched by the Joshua Group.
Another toonie drive is planned for next month. The last one raised 20 thousand dollars in a week and Curwin is hoping to double that this time around.
