I spy with my little eye..... something that tastes delicious! The Pan Cape Breton Food Hub Co-op graciously accommodated our late order for frozen pre-made meals to help bridge the gap for clients on stormy days. Thanks also to our community partners Knox Presbyterian and BOLD Seniors for engaging in community distribution.
