It wasn鈥檛 the first time members of the 91原创 chapter of the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group (IMRG) have dropped by the 91原创 Food Bank on 203 Street in 91原创 City.
This time, they arrived with donations of food and other supplies, $650 in cash, and a plaque of appreciation.
When the bikers walked in the front door of the 91原创 Food Bank Saturday morning, executive director Iain Mair greeted them with a big smile and a hearty handshake.
鈥淕ood to see you all,鈥� Mair said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing, what they鈥檝e done,鈥� Mair said.
鈥淲e really appreciate their effort and all they鈥檝e done for us.鈥�
Mair said the food bank serves an estimated 1,700 people at its 91原创 and Aldergrove locations.
The riders, all fans of the legendary motorcycle brand, did not arrive on their bikes.
It was a little too wet and slippery for that, they said.
Club president Wayne Plante said because the price of everything is going up and more and more people arer using the food bank to help stretch their budgets, it made sense to donate.
鈥淚t make you feel good to give,鈥� Plante said.
Next year, he said, the club plans to make a bigger contribution.
Plante said the newly-founded 91原创 chapter of IMRG, a world-wide association of Indian brand motorcycle owners, is just over a year old, with 44 members.
