Last month we were welcomed into Tabor Manor with Meals on Wheels, to feed 13 independent residents needing assistance as they were still in COVID-19 crisis mode. We are so thankful to be able to help our community! Please note this facility is an independent residence of Tabor Village and not publicly funded.
*Unique Request Alert*
We are so thankful to be receiving regular egg donations from local farms...the only hang up is that we don’t have enough cartons to distribute them all. Any egg carton donation or recommendation would be much appreciated!
We have a fun story to share today! Larry has been hosting outdoor mini concerts throughout the community to raise money for the food bank! He has a goal of reaching $2020 and he is almost at his goal! Thank you Larry for bringing joy and raising money to help others in such a creative way during COVID!
New volunteers + newish name = new team uniform! 💚👕
With all our new amazing volunteers and along with our name change last year, it was time for an update to our team uniform! We like to give our volunteers a shirt to thank and recognize them for the hard work they do here. We are so excited for our volunteers and staff to represent the food bank around the community in these shirts!
We love our community! Here are some special hunger heroes we want to thank this week!
Photo 1 – Thank you MEI Schools for their continuous donations of fresh lettuce grown in their gardens! We love being able to give these beautiful fresh lettuces to our guests!
Photo 2 – Thank you Ledcor and TELUS for dropping off this cart full of food! We are thankful for your generosity!
Photo 3 – A very special thank you to the Dhaliwal family who donated this large amount of food in honour of their daughter Anmol for the third year in a row. We cannot imagine the pain their family has experienced in losing such an important person. We are so grateful for their kindness and generosity in her honour.
Photo 4 – Thank you to Riversol for providing us with a case of individual-sized hand sanitizers! Our staff and volunteers are so excited to use these!
Photo 5 – We recently received 50 bars of handmade soaps in the mail from The Great Canadian Soap Company in Prince Edward Island, that were purchased and donated by Anna Liew from British Columbia. Thank you so much Anna! We can’t wait to pass these along to our guests.
This past Tuesday was the official launch of our third annual Summer Starfish program! Meghan and Dan spent the day driving to 7 spots throughout Abbotsford to meet up with Starfish families and give them their bags. (Our friends at Ross Road Community Church and HillCity Church Abbotsford were also pick up locations for some of our families!) The day was a big success despite the rainy weather, and over 110 children received Starfish bags!
For more information about how to donate or how to participate in the program, please call or text Meghan at 778-344-3093.
