A 91大黄鸭 charity donated $3000 to the Salvation Army鈥檚 food programs.
Both the 91大黄鸭 and Westside Salvation Army experienced increased demand for their services and programs this past year.
To combat food insecurity in the Central Okanagan, the Gary Bennett Family Fund and its supporters donated $1,500 to both the West 91大黄鸭 and 91大黄鸭 Salvation Army locations.
鈥淲e are proud to support the work of the Westside and 91大黄鸭 Salvation Army because of the work that it does and because of how it does that work,鈥� says Gary Bennett.
The Emergency Food Hamper program, which will receive a portion of the funding, is one of the valuable services provided by the Salvation Army. The program is designed to meet the nutritional needs of those living on the street.
Funds were spent at the Westbank Real Canadian Superstore to purchase much-needed shelf stable, healthy, and ready to eat food items including; boost, 100% fruit snacks, ready-to-eat soups, tuna, and protein bars.
