No one wants to go hungry at Christmas or any time for that matter. So what can be done about it?
Staff at McMillan Motor Products in Kipling started a food drive for the Kipling food bank at the start of November and will continue accepting donations and adding to the vehicle until Dec. 23.
“COVID-19 has made it to be a trying year for all in our community,” explained organizer Dominique Sauve about the goal they had in mind. “We have decided to do something for our local food bank to help those most in need this holiday season.”
“We started off with our 2021 Chevrolet Spark. Once the vehicle was full we moved up to our 2020 GMC Terrain, our goal is to fill up our 2021 Yukon,” added Sauve.
The plan is for McMillan Motor Products to make the presentation on Dec. 23 to the local food bank.
“I am so proud of what we have achieved so far with reaching our goal, we are halfway there (as of Nov. 30),” explained organizer Dominque Sauve. “I would like to say thank you from McMillan Motor Products to our employees and our wonderful customers who have donated to our food drive. This is the first year that we have done a food drive to this extent. I hope that we can continue this food drive yearly for the holiday season.
“On Dec. 21, 2020, if you would like to donate and help us reach our goal we will have our Yukon parked outside the Kipling Community Centre. We hope to see you there.”
