Student Gives Back

Last November 22, over 60 customers enjoyed a delicious, homemade meal carefully prepared by William-Alexandre Soucy (grade 6 student at Holland) and his family.

For the past several years, William imagined different ways to raise money for an organization called Deuil-Jeunesse.  Deuil-Jeunesse provides counselling and help for families who have lost a loved one.  This year, William wanted to raise more money than ever.  He had the idea of turning his home into a catering service for lunch, dinner, and take-out.  On the menu:  pie!  Turkey, salmon, and shepherd’s pie + apple, sugar, or fruit pie!

William and his family baked 47 pies plus 20 squares of shepherd's pie. They used 5 cabbages for the salad and 1 huge tub of ice cream!!!
William obtained donations of 25$ from IGA, 20$ from his grandmother, and a turkey from Melanie Dolan (which turned into 8 pies).


William was pleased to offer a total of $963.40 to Deuil-Jeunesse.  And the customers of William's
Bistro were pleased to enjoy the tasty food!
