After the Mayor’s Free Skate at the CCC on Friday (Jan 3), it was time to head over to the Grand Opening of Cobourg’s new Fare Share Food Bank.
The Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank hosted their re-opening at 700 D’arcy Street, which is in the same building as Rebound Child and Youth Services and just below ‘Just Dance’.
