Foodland raises $9,582 for food bank

Ashley and Sim Spry, proprietors at Creemore Foodland, present a cheque for $9,582 in support of the St. Luke’s Community Food Bank to Rev. Lorna May. The money was raised through donations during a two-week campaignleading up to Christmas, with Sobeys Canada offering to match donations received over one weekend. In spite ofbeing one of the smaller Ontario Foodland stores involved in the promotion, the amount raised in Creemore was among the largest. This year’s total was nearly double what was raised a year earlier, helped in part by a couple of large individual donations of over $1,000.
