Last weekend, Kitras Art Glass participated in the Fergus Elora Studio Tour.
As in years past Kitras Art Glass teamed up with the Center Wellington Food Bank and offered a free holiday ornament for people who brought in a food item.
The community responded with great success and Kitras Art Glass was able to collect approximately 450 pounds of food.
The Center Wellington Food Bank helps over 1,800 people in Center Wellington every year, 715 of those are children.
In an average month in Canada over 700,000 people go to food banks for assistance. The need for the food bank continues to rise, in Canada; from 1989 to 2004 the demand raised 123 percent, with this increasing substantially every year. With rising demands for food, food banks all around Canada find it difficult to fill their shelves. The Center Wellington Food Bank is located at 105 Queen St. West, Unit 12, Fergus (519) 787-1401.
Kitras Art Glass was excited to be part of the Center Wellington Food Bank’s Thanksgiving drive for the third year and thanks everyone who came to the Studio Tour and brought a donation.
Kitras Art Glass is the largest hot glass studio in Canada and is celebrating its 22nd year in business.
Kitras Art Glass believes in creating innovative designs for the home and garden. Kitras Art Glass products can be found in stores and boutiques around Canada and the United States and has a showroom that is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm at 530 Dickson Drive, in Fergus.
