For the last four years, 102.9 CFAR has been doing a local campaign called Snacks For Students where they collect proceeds to purchase snacks for elementary school kids in our area.

CFAR Manager Dianne Russell mentions there is a great need in our community. " So what we found out is supporting children in the community is something the community needs and what we need. They always try to keep kids fed and we decided that we would work with local business's and institutions to get food and we call it Snacks For Students. We get a portion of the money we do for advertising and we do tips on the air that talks about healty eating. We also go and buy snacks for all the elementry schools."

Snacks For Students will continue til the end of September and if you would like to make a donation by cash or cheque you can stop by CFAR at 316 Green Street.
