The Build a Mountain of Food Campaign would like to thank all the residents, businesses, schools, service clubs, churches, and the community of Perth and area who once again came forward in a very generous way to make the 2015 Build a Mountain of Food Campaign stop in Perth another record breaker!
A huge Thank You goes out to both St. John High school and St. John Elementary schools for their large donations of food to the Build a Mountain of Food Campaign.
Also, the day would not be successful without the continuous support of our locally owned and operated grocery store locations who provide us not only with their locations, but continue to support us with their overwhelming generosity with the Store-to-Store Challenge in support of the Perth Good Food Bank.
Thank you to Foodsmiths, Brownlee’s Metro, Giant Tiger, and Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer for their unwavering and generous support of the Town and Country Chrysler Build a Mountain of Food Campaign, and to the communities they serve.
Last, but not least, a big Thank You to our Perth Good Food Bank Coordinator Wendy Quarrington and her special group of over 50 dedicated volunteers who give their time to help make our Build a Mountain of Food Campaign stop in Perth a very successful and positive day in support of the Perth Good Food Bank.
