It has been a bellwether day for a program designed to help school kids start the day on a full belly.
The annual VOCM Cares Kids Eat Smart Radiothon raised over $615,000 for breakfast programs at schools throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
Donations large and small and everywhere in between came via phone and online so that kids can start the day with a nutritious breakfast.
NAPE, the province’s largest union, has about 30,000 members. Union President Jerry Earle and secretary-treasurer Trevor King handed over a cheque for $40,000.
