Thomas Salmon helps the Food Bank at the Great Pumpkin Food Bank Drive

The Food Bank's Great Pumpkin Food Drive at Sobey's over the weekend  was a resounding success, and we now have Sunday's numbers to tell you about. Manager Don Pettem says his store sold an impressive number of food baskets to add to the generous cash donations.

Sue Methuen, executive assistant at the Food Bank, says Saturday's total in cash and food basket donations was $2,697. An additional $750 was donated Sunday for a total of $3,447. As well, there was 637 pounds of food collected on Saturday with a further 320 pounds, Sunday - bringing in 957 lbs.  Monday, the Food Bank kicked-off a contest with Joey's Restaurants in Airdrie. You can go to www.joeys.ca  to find out more, and you can help them "Stuff a Bus" this Saturday at Co-op.
