Nicola Valley Food Bank receives much needed donation from Save-On-Foods

MERRITT – The Nicola Valley Food Bank (NVFB) has received another much needed donation.

Save-On-Foods put on their sixth annual Family Share it Forward Event between May 25-31 with half of the proceeds going directly to the NVFB, which worked out to just over $1,500.

“My heart is overwhelmed, there’s so many organizations that contribute to the food bank and it is great to see,” said Derlanda Hewton, from the NVFB. “It helps us pay our bills. We appreciate any donation that comes in, no matter if it’s $5, it all helps and it all goes towards being able to feed the people that need to be helped in the community.”

A total of $1,540 was raised for the Food Bank.
