For a decade now, the Prince Rupert Rotary Club has provided local schools with fresh fruit at no cost, ensuring that students can power through their learning days with the help of healthy snacks. When a recent doubling in the cost of apples threatened the viability of the program, Trigon was pleased to step up with a multi-year commitment totaling $45,000.
“Food affordability is a growing challenge around the world, including here in Prince Rupert,” said Trigon CEO Rob Booker. “This is why the long-standing commitment of the Rotary Club to lead this initiative in our community is so valued, and further, why Trigon is pleased to join with others to expand these efforts and to help ensure a more sustainable financial footing going forward.”
