Residents of Joe Rich are encouraged to support the 12th annual food bank drive.

This Sunday, December 11th, between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, members of the Joe Rich Fire Department will be going door-to-door throughout the community collecting food and cash donations for the Central Okanagan Food Bank.

Residents who wish to drop off donations on Sunday at either the Joe Rich Community Hall (11481 Highway 33 east) or Station 52, the Goudie Road Fire Hall (6550 Goudie Road) are asked to contact the Fire Department in advance so firefighters won’t visit their residence. Both facilities will be open to accept donations during the community food bank drive.

For more information visit the Joe Rich Fire Rescue webpage; Facebook page, email or call 250-469-6179.
