Disaster Dining – coming to a Walmart store near you

If you are a frequent follower of this blog, you know how much we like to talk about dining solutions for disaster situations.

Disaster Dining event in Saint John New Brunswick

This month, the Canadian Red Cross along with select Walmart stores across Canada will be hosting disaster dining challenges. Contestants will compete to make nutritious and delicious dishes using some food items recommended for an emergency preparedness kit.  To make things a little more challenging, participants can’t use a heat source and only bottled water.

One such challenge took place last week in Saint John New Brunswick and was a big success!  This Thursday we are having a challenge at a Walmart in Scarborough at 11:30 a.m, and one in Kingston at 10:00 a.m. Next Monday, we will be hosting one in Barrie at 10:00. 

Meanwhile, if you are swinging by a Walmart store this month, you can make a donation at the till to support Red Cross disaster response activities in your community.
