CrossFit de l’ouest Foodraiser!
Note: All Nutella proceeds were donated directly to the Christian Habib Stomach Foundation
At CrossFit de l’ouest we would like to believe that we are not just a business but also a constructive part of the West Island community and you all make us feel that way every time we hold an event. We would like to thank everyone who came out today for the foodraiser, your generosity once again blew us away! We had a great haul of non-perishables to give the underprivileged families of the West Island who visit the On Rock Ministries food bank.
