The JHS Hamilton team will be hosting Father’s Day bake sales on JUne 18 and 19 to benefit our agency campaign for the United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton.

Did you know the United Way was our very first funder in 1949??

Here’s a recipe that will be featured at the bake sale tomorrow. We love these Mars bar squares because they are good for people with nut allergies (but always be sure to double check the ingredients you are using to be sure!!)
