“It was great.”
That’s how Williams Lake Fresh Co store owner Evan Haubric summed up how the Corporate cash donation match weekend went.
“Saturday (December 13) we raised $1167 and with the matching donation it totalled $2334,” Haubric said, “Donation bags were a big hit. We sold $1385 worth of food bags as well so altogether we raised just over $3700 in one day.”
The Williams Lake RCMP, Fire Department, and the boys U15 hockey were also helping that day from 11 until 3.
Haurbic said Sunday (December 14) wasn’t as busy but they still received $127 in cash donations and $325 in food bags.
The Williams Lake Fresh Co Holiday Food Drive for the Salvation Army Food Bank is currently just over the 10-thousand mark in combined cash and food bag donations that beats last year’s total which they were just shy of reaching.
