P.E.I. producers are partnering with the province to support Island families in need with care packages this Easter weekend.
Under the Island Producers Helping Islanders initiative, Amalgamated Dairies Limited (ADL), the P.E.I. Potato Board and the provincial government will be handing out free care packages to Islanders this Saturday that include local dairy products and potatoes.
Drive-thru pick up will be set up at two locations this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (or while supplies last) which include, Credit Union Place parking lot in Summerside and at the P.E.I. Government Complex parking lot (on Terry Fox Drive) in Charlottetown.
To support physical distancing, Islanders are asked to remain in their vehicles while volunteers place the care package in the trunk.
This one-time initiative is intended to help Islanders and families in need, but it isn’t open to everyone. Islanders interested in making a donation in light of the free care package may do so online to a local charity of their choice.
