In the 10 years 18 Wheels of Christmas has been up and running we have seen a lot of support, generosity in donations and many of the heartfelt thank you from complete strangers for what we do but nothing compares to our favourite 2 ladies. Vyetta and Bev have constantly supported and promoted 18 Wheels of Christmas all of these 10 Years by inviting us into their business and accepting donations from their customers and friends. It needs to be mentioned as well Vyetta and Bev brave the cold (or even when it is above zero) right along with us. They have a unique way of obtaining donations and letting people know what we are all about.
This year was no exception once again they invited us to set up in front of the Sobey’s in Douglasglen Square and once again the generous spirit of this Community came shining through. We collected 2 large boxes of donated food, $515.00 in food vouchers and $150.00 in cash. The cash donations go towards the purchase of baby food which is often overlooked. This was all collected in 2 hours. We can not thank Vyetta and Bev enough.
On December 1 we will be at Lake Bonavista Promenade from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm Vyetta and Bev will be right there with us.
