If you would like to donate money or food to the food bank in Kyle's Memory you can drop into the food bank or any of the locations accepting food during the month of March.  Neighbour to Neighbour will keep track of the amount of food or money donated in his name.  

Kyle's wish, at the tender age of six, when he was first diagnosed with leukemia was that "no child should go hungry".  Throughout his illness he would visit the food bank with food donated from many groups, companies, friends and family who were touched by his life and struggle.  The support of all these individuals gave him strength to face his struggle with courage and determination.  He loved visiting the food bank with cheques and food on a regular basis and usually visited each week after chemotherapy.  It seemed to add a positive aspect to the day for him.  The Hoult's would like every individual, who supported this memorial over the years, to know that your continued support is greatly appreciated.  Our family invites you to help us remember our son and brother again this year. 

This year the Emergency Sevices-Fire and Police will be accepting donations for the 7^th Annual Kyle Hoult Memorial Food Drive.  The Mountain Police Station on Hwy 53 between Upper Wentworth and Wellington as well as the following Fire Stations will be public drop sites:
