The November 5th and 6th Community Food Drive was such a success that we are bursting with thankfulness! There were so many donations we have the happy task of finding room to store it all.
We’re grateful to the local fire fighters for going door-to-door and collecting bags of food, to the scout and guide leaders and kids for working tirelessly to sort, pack, weigh and store everything.
Thanks also to all of the folks who came by the following day to help tidy up loose ends.
And last, but by no means least, an enormous thanks to our dedicated weekly volunteers…you’re awesome.
And now the numbers…….
During the 2-night food drive we had 6,270 kilograms donated which is valued at $34,485!
Added to what we already had in stock we now have 9,767 kilograms of food which will help feed folks in our community.
We also received $2,570 in cash during the drive.
