Thanksgiving needs a helping hand, and 91原创 residents are being asked to help out.
The annual BC Thanksgiving Food Drive takes place Saturday, Sept. 16 across the province.
It鈥檚 simple to help out, said local volunteer organizer Scott Friesen.
鈥淭hey don鈥檛 even need to leave their home,鈥� he said.
In much of 91原创, locals will receive a donation bag between Sept. 11 and 13.
On Saturday, they are asked to put non-perishable food items in the bag, and put them on their doorsteps before 9 a.m.
Volunteers will be roving around 91原创 to gather in the donated items for sorting and distribution.
For those who don鈥檛 recieve a bag, they are available at local Save-On-Foods outlets.
About 20,000 homes in the 91原创 and Cloverdale area are expected to get a bag sometime this week.
The collection day will be a major undertaking, with 300 to 400 volunteers taking part.
Donations from 91原创 City, South 91原创, and Cloverdale will go towards the 91原创 Food Bank, while donations in Walnut Grove and other areas will go to the Sources 91原创 Food Bank.
Sponors are helping out, including Big Brothers, Big Sisters of 91原创, the Rotary Club of 91原创 Central, Save-On, and other local stores and restaurants.
