🌟 From Condo Living to Community Giving! 🌟
When longtime Food Drive volunteers Derek Hudson and Jim Sutherland moved into neighbouring condo buildings, they didn’t hang up their food drive hats — they just got creative!
Instead of going door-to-door, Derek and Jim reached out to their condo boards for permission to place collection bins in the building foyers and share information through the condo portals. The response? Absolutely heartwarming. 💛
In just two weeks, the residents of the two buildings filled three overflowing bins — over 220 kg of food — for members of our Edmonton community in need. Edmonton’s Food Bank gladly picked up the generous donations as part of this year’s Food Drive.
👏 A huge thank you to Derek, Jim, and all the condo residents who joined in! Your creativity and compassion show that no matter where we live — “here’s a condo, there’s a condo, everywhere a condo” — we can all find ways to make a difference.
As C.S. Lewis once reminded us, helping others is one way we serve God, seeing Christ in each person we help. 💫
