Shaw Together is Amazing Food Drive

Posted by Craig Clarke

Shaw has come together with Campbell Canada and Safeway to help "Fill the Food Banks" and ensure hungry Canadians have enough to eat this winter.
Fill the Food Banks is the first event for the Together is Amazing initiative, recently launched by Shaw Link to the web page. The goal is to deliver a million pounds of food to registered food banks across Canada by November 15th, 2010.
Community food donations will triple in value as both Shaw and Campbell Canada will match contributions to a combined maximum of 650,000 pounds. Shaw will match to a maximum of 350,000 lbs and Campbell Canada will match to a maximum of 300,000 lbs as a part of their annual commitment to food banks across the country.

At the area club President's meeting on Monday, Oceanside asked other clubs to join them in a mass contribution. The suggested amount is $20 worth of non-perishable goods per member.
Oceanside Rotary has arranged to deliver the food to Loaves & Fishes Food Bank on Tuesday, November 16 at 4:30 pm. A reporter from SHAW will capture the donation drop-off on video.

We are asked to weigh all donations by our members, put them in boxes & report the total to President Andriana before we take the food to Loaves & Fishes. We need volunteers to help weigh & transport the food.
