Douglas Lake Sobey's

December 3, 2011

We were invited back to the Douglas Square Sobey’s by our 2 favorite ladies Vyetta and Bev with this year a special request for our appearance from the store manager Jamie. This is the 9th year we have been at this location and the people of the Douglas Glen and Douglasdale communities never stop surprising us.

Santa and his trailer arrived at 9:30 AM. The weather was pleasant and our enthusiasm was visible by the smiles on our faces. From the moment the doors to the trailer were opened and the music playing we had shoppers filling our grocery cart. The steady stream of people never seemed to end and neither did the smiles. The youngsters always excited to see Santa for a picture, a hug or a special treat from his bag kept the smiles on our faces until we closed the doors to the trailer at 1PM.

Once more we experienced the generosity of people and cannot describe the feeling as hampers and bags of groceries were placed in our shopping cart filling it to the brim. We could not empty the cart fast enough. There was not one special moment at this location as the entire 3 ½ hours spent there was special.

18 Wheels of Christmas came away with case lots of tuna, peanut butter, mac and cheese and a case of rice. To top this all off the Sobey’s manager, Jamie, and her team donated 50 prepackaged food hampers!!!!! Ask us if we are HAPPY?!!!!

We are now that much closer to filling this trailer to the limit for our December 21st food bank delivery.

Again, Vyetta and Bev your spirit of support for this campaign is unmatched, thank you!!!!!!
