NAPS to ship food to Northern communities
THUNDER BAY – Nishnawbe Aski Police Service will pack food into empty shipping container space and will deliver it to 16 First Nations communities.
According to a release issued on Thursday, NAPS is transporting and installing equipment to the remote, Northern Ontario communities, taking advantage of the brief winter-road season to move the generators and communications equipment north. Realizing the containers wouldn’t be full, they offered it up to the Regional Food Distribution Association.
“We are always looking for affordable ways to get food to those communities that are harder for us to access. The ice roads make this possible, and we are thankful that NAPS has offered us the space,” said Volker Kromm, the executive director of the RFDA.
