Students at Whitmore School spent part of their day helping to provide meals to the food bank.
They were filling meal bags full of rice and beans. Each bag contains more than 20 grams of protein and can feed up to five people.
Wayne Olsen, the Community Minister at The Church Of Christ, saw the project on a visit to Calgary and he then spearheaded bringing it to Dauphin.
One member of the program in Calgary made the trip to Dauphin along with his daughter to help the kids pack the meals.
The goal of the day was to make over 12,000 meals which will be donated to the food bank and to schools in the area with meal programs.
The principal of Whitmore School, Lesia Jensen says that the opportunity for students to give back is something that the school couldn't pass up.
