What an absolutely gorgeous day at Seton Save-On-Foods on Dec 6th.
Our driver, Jonathon, placed the 18 Wheels trailer right
outside save-on-foods front doors and right on the sidewalk. Perfectly placed.
We set up all our gear then James and his crew set up all
their gear. This of course is the now famous “Wheel of Fortune”. Skippy and Skipette did a terrific job of getting everyone’s
attention and letting everyone know with each donation a spin to win up to 5000 Save-On-Foods More Rewards Program Points could be theirs. Everyone a winner!!!! Kool FM and The Peak were
on hand once again with their raffles for a chance to win One Republic concert
tickets and/or tickets to the movie premiere of The Interview. There was also
the chance to win a Save-On-Foods shopping spree of $250.00.
Donations were rolling in and as we were placing them in the
trailer a couple came over with a donation baby formula at a guesstimated amount of $500.00. As if this wasn't enough, the Grey family showed up moments after with
their cart full of peanut butter, soup and sauces to donate. When families do this together
it is always a heart warmer. The Koopman family showed up with another surprise
of cases of soup, juices and canned goods. This day was only getting better as a young woman showed up with bags of food she had purchased especially for this
event. All she wanted in return was her bags back. Not only did we have food donations made by the people of this community we also had families with their kids in tow donating toys.
We were full of laughs and surprises. Santa was busy with
the kids and the Elves were getting into mischief like they always do. Our
volunteer Diana was baiting the Elves into spinning the wheel and stopping at
the big money prize of 5000 points. But Santa had to rein them in.
We left at 4:00pm with a load of food and cash as well as a
pyramid of the precious baby food.
Thank you to the community of Seton!!!!!
Thank you Save-On-Foods!!!!!
