JCI Penticton is looking forward to hosting its 7th Annual Valley Food Drive next weekend.
The public is welcome to donate food and hygiene products in the Cherry Lane Mall parking lot on Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each year, JCI chooses a different charity to support. All donations this year will be donated to the Okunakane Friendship Center.
“We chose Okunakane Friendship Center because it offers accessible programs and services that help urban and remote Indigenous people achieve their vision of health, wellness, and prosperity. Because we are dedicated to our mission of 'doing what we do',” a spokesperson said. Release from JCI.
“During these difficult times with the rising cost of living, especially the cost of food, we want to make a positive impact on our communities. We encourage both businesses and individuals to donate. We welcome our sponsor, Total Restoration, to help us with all donations.”
Total Restorations also has donation boxes set up prior to the event.
“I encourage other businesses who would like to make an impact to contact our committee chair, Chris Campbell. [email protected] About setting up donation boxes for your employees and customers!”
You are welcome to attend the May 25th event. Anyone looking to volunteer, meet people and make an impact can find out more here.
