Daybreak Rotary President Andrew Sandberg said he was thrilled to receive a donation from Tolko to support the local Starfish Pack program.

The Starfish pack program is up and running in Williams Lake elementary schools for the seventh consecutive year. A project of the Daybreak Rotary Club, the Starfish packs provide weekend meals for families in need by providing a backpack full of food on Fridays.

Currently, dozens of families from several schools are being fed through the program.

Each pack is filled and delivered by a small group of dedicated volunteers.
