Another record haul for Rotary Food Bank Drive

Last night’s Rotary Food Drive has again brought in a record amount of donations. 46.5 tons of non-perishable food items were collected by more than 700 volunteers during the 20th annual event. That means the Swan City’s Rotary, Roteract and Interact clubs can likely continue to boast the country’s Largest Rotary Food Bank Drive.

2015’s drive brought in 42.5 tons. If your house got missed and you’d like to make a contribution, you can drop items off at the Salvation Army Service Centre on 102nd Street and 97th Avenue any time of year.
