I took a friend to the Food Bank in Whistler today and I was devastated to see how empty it is. Sarah says that because so many people are out of work in Whistler, many are relying on the Food Bank.
Even though the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation gave $5,000 to the Food Bank recently, it must have all been used up because they are in dire need of the following:
Rice, canned fruit and vegetables, LARGE canned soups, Canola Oil, butter, eggs, bread flour, pancake mix, kraft dinner, Honey, Jam, pasta, pasta sauce, cookies, cereals, dishwash soap, toilet paper.
Please take your food donations directly to Sarah at the Whistler Food Bank, at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church on the first and third Monday of each month between 11 and 1pm. This way the food is fresh. Please do not donate food that has expired :) Try to imagine that you were receiving the food - it's nice if it's fresh and yummy, isn't it!
Thank you so much to Sarah, Lorna, Kari and Nataly for doing such an excellent job supporting people in need in Whistler. The Whistler Community Services Society helped our family the first three years we were in Whistler and it is because of their endless generosity and support that we have been able to make steady progress and settle into the community.
Be an Angel - Donate some food today to the Whistler Food Bank.
Thank you and Bless you all!
