\u201cDuring our CSI campaign this year we decided to focus on the elderly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we heard of Rest-A-While, and the competition they were running, we decided to spend the morning with them, sponsor them with prizes and bring along treats, as our main objective is hunger relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur purpose was to bring a little bit of cheer, and I think we\u2019ve succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n
