Here is an update on the North Waterloo Area’s participation in the Food Bank’s Dig In Event for Abert Fuchigami who coordinated Scouting’s participation locally.  Yes, it was another great service event

Just a quick follow-up report.  North Waterloo Scouting collected about 400lbs of food.  Thanks to all who articipated in the food collection part: (24th Kitchener, 38th Kitchener, 45th Kitchener, University of Waterloo, Other individuals)

Leaders from the University of Waterloo Group transferred the food to the DIG IN Drop off point Saturday morning.  (We went to the Valu-Mart at Frederick and Edna.  Since it was a low-volume store, they were very appreciative of the contribution).   The DIG IN event as a whole collected 70,000 lbs of donations on the Saturday, and another 70,000 lbs in the days leading up to the event.  There’s an article in the KW Record if you’re interested in more
details (http://news.therecord.com/article/712916)

Congratulations to 45th Kitchener, who won the Gift Certificate draw

 From all reports, the Food Bank is planning on repeating this event next year.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks
