My Broadcasting Corporation staff make it an annual tradition in all of the markets we serve to run an “All Hands on Deck” Food Drive on one of two date is August.
Arnprior’s Drive, originally organized and coordinated by Lynn Cloutier, has grown in size and support over the years- and Arnprior and District Food Bank Manager Pat Tait says a lot of behind-the-scenes organization makes it seem like the whole process in choreographed.
Preliminary results from the AHOD Arnprior Food Drive indicate a substantial increase in cash donations. $3,169.60 was collected, along with 1678 items donated at the three locations yesterday.
Thanks to the community for its generosity, all of the sponsors who helped with logistics, and the volunteers who helped us with collections.
Information on the Arnprior and District Food Bank is as close as its Facebook page,
