Citizens of Chase once again showed excellent support for the Chase Rotary Club’s Yellow Bag Food Drive.
Chuck Wyld from the Chase Hamper Society has updated the totals from the food drive to approximately 5,000 pounds of donated food from Chase residents.
Volunteers initially collected about 1,800 pounds from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, and still had to collect from a few stores which had bins where people could drop off yellow bags.
People who were missed or who forgot about the drive have been dropping donations at Safety Mart Foods and Peoples Food and Drugs daily, plus there are donations still to come from the First Nations bands, who supported the drive well last spring.
Less fortunate families in Chase will once again be supported by the Chase Hamper Society, thanks to great community support.
