Helping Hands Schedules Spring Food Drive

Share:

Niverville Helping Hands is ready to announce their annual Spring Food Drive. The food drive, supported by local youth groups, is scheduled to take place on May 11. The collectors will be coming through town in the evening, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

“Please leave donations on your front door step, or have them ready when the youth come around,” says Ashley Chamberlain, volunteer coordinator for Helping Hands. “The most needed food items are canned fruit, fruit juice, canned meats, canned veggies, and cereal.”

Chamberlain notes that Helping Hands will issue tax receipts for cash or cheque donations of $20 or more.

For Niverville Credit Union members, donations of $20 or more can now be made by adding Niverville Helping Hands as a bill payee through online or mobile banking. For more information, contact Rosemary Johnston at 204-371-2665 or johnston.rt@shaw.ca.
