HELPING THOSE WHO HELP OTHERS

When I heard that the Goldstream Food Bank’s van was on its last legs, it was easy to find local businesses eager to help out. Everyone recognizes the importance of what the food bank does, helping out people who need a hand during tough times. Many of the Goldstream Food Bank’s volunteers are seniors who recognize the importance of giving back to the community.

Thanks to the efforts of the City of Langford, Keycorp Marketing, Totangi Properties, Verity Development, Fairway Markets, TJBS Holdings, South Skirt Mountain, Westbrook Consulting, the Alpine Group, Limona Holdings, Hanington Creek Estates and the West Shore Developers Association, we were able to raise $12,000. Now the dedicated volunteers at the Goldstream Food Bank have a new van and $2,000 worth of groceries to help with the valuable work they do.
