Saturday, Sept. 14 dawned sunny and warm, a great day for the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive.
With the help of 20 families and about 250 hours of work, 8,000 pounds of food was brought in to the Quensel Food Bank, more than double last year’s amount.
The Salvation Army is incredibly grateful to everyone who donated to the food bank.
About 2,400 homes were collected from, more than 60 per cent higher than last year; next year, organizers would like to get to more areas around Quesnel. If anyone would like to help with a route next year and volunteer 4 – 5 hours, get a hold of Graeme Armstrong, 250-92501808.
