The seventh edition of the myFM All Hands on Deck Food Drive is geared up to go on Thursday.
And the success of the one-day food drive would not be possible without the generous support of community partners like Elgin Roofing.
Owner Pete Hiebert tells myFM that participating every year is his way of giving those who are less fortunate, including families with young children a helping hand as the new school year rolls around.
The food drive has become a powerful show of community support – rallying residents, businesses, and local leaders to help fill the shelves of area food banks.
And even though this is a frantically busy time for Hiebert, he stresses that doesn’t deter his staff from stepping up and lending a hand for the day.
Along with our generous sponsors, the myFM team will be on site collecting donations for the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank, the Corner Cupboard in Aylmer and the Port Stanley & Area Community Food Bank.
Whether it’s a single can or a cart full of groceries, every donation counts, reminds Hiebert.
The 7th annual myFM and Elgin Roofing All Hands on Deck Food Drive will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Real Canadian Superstore in St. Thomas, Miller’s Your Independent Grocer in Aylmer and Foodland in Port Stanley.
In years past, we were able to make the single largest one-time donation to our area food banks and we can do that again with your help!
