For the past four years, a team of staff lead by Kelly MacDonald from The Standard Insurance brokers in Dryden, Ontario, have come together to run an Easter Food Drive for the local Dryden Food Bank.
During the month of March each year they team up with the local radio station, CKDR (92.7 FM), Subway restaurant and ‘The Centre’ in Dryden to make it happen. CKDR donates their airtime, and Kelly MacDonald launched the food drive by announcing an official challenge live on the radio to all local businesses or organizations to see who can bring in the most food by the end of March. The winners win a free lunch, courtesy of Subway restaurant, concert tickets, courtesy of ‘The Centre’ and an IPOD Nano, courtesy of The Standard Insurance brokers. There are three different winning categories.
This year, they had over 21 local businesses partake in the program this year, and raised almost 5000 food items plus over $100 in monetary donations.
Way to go!
