Karmel Sakran and Alyssa Brierley deliver donations to PW Food Bank

Yesterday Karmel Sakran and Alyssa Brierley, our candidates in the Provincial and Federal elections last year, delivered the food collected at the recent BPLA/BFLA Christmas party to the Partnership Food Bank on Plains Road East, Burlington. The PW Food Bank does incredible work. It serves 7500 people in our community, as well as providing food for 3000 meals that Wellington Square Church provides each year. Each eligible food bank recipient receives $140 of groceries every 3 weeks.

Volunteer Cass Quinn gave Karmel and Alyssa a tour of the facility and told them about the challenges they face - above all the drop in donations during the summer months. As a result the BPLA and BFLA will be looking at organising another food drive in the spring.
