Oliver’s 8th annual BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, held Saturday, Sept. 15, was a huge success, as together we donated and delivered 7,200 pounds of food to the Oliver Food Bank.
After a day with so much giving, much gratitude is in order. Thank you to every person who supported the Oliver Food Bank with donations.
Thank you to the individuals, families, businesses and organizations that volunteered for and sponsored the food drive. We really appreciate it! And thank you to everyone who could not donate on Saturday, but would have liked to. There’s always next year.
And while our volunteers are extraordinary, they are not perfect. If we missed a donation bag that you put out this past weekend, call 250-809-4864 for a pickup.
The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive is a B.C.-wide project to support local food banks in their mission to feed the hungry. The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive is a non-denominational, community-focused project open to all interested individuals, groups, and businesses that wish to lend a hand.
If you as a business, community group or individual are interested in helping out in next year’s food drive, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. To see province-wide information please go to www.bctfooddrive.org.
