McMillan Motor Products had their SUV parked at Kipling鈥檚 Community Centre for anyone to stop by and bring their non-perishable food donations throughout the evening on Dec. 21, an event which coincided with the town鈥檚 light judging. And that they did, filling the vehicle with bags of food items sure to bring holiday spirit to anyone in need.
鈥淚t鈥檒l be a yearly event,鈥� comments Trevor Hack of McMillan Motor Products.
And the Kipling Food Bank is very grateful for the planning of this event, thanks to Dominique Sauve, staff member of McMillan鈥檚.
鈥淪ince COVID-19 we (the Food Bank) have not been as busy,鈥� explains Wayne Struble. A notification was put out for anyone to stop in and make use of the Kipling Food Bank.
鈥淭he bins at the grocery stores have been pretty good,鈥� says Norman Korfman, also with the food bank. Brenda Korfman echoed the statement.
鈥淚t has been excellent and since COVID there have been more cash donations.鈥�
鈥淎t the latest event McMillan鈥檚 kicked off, there has been a lot of product donated,鈥� says Wayne Struble.
鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 seem to matter when there鈥檚 a function or whether there鈥檚 a word put out that the Food Bank needs help 鈥�.it just happens!鈥� said Wayne.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just wonderful the way people respond,鈥� adds Wayne.
鈥淲e are so appreciate for all the donations,鈥� adds Gloria Struble. 鈥淭he support is so great.鈥�
Many volunteers come out to lend a hand on Food Bank days.
