The Christmas Season of Caring

The Thetis Island Fire Department will once again be collecting non-perishable, non-expired and unopened food items for the Food Bank.  We will start the season at Forbes Hall on December 4th when you visit the community centre for the Around the Island Christmas Tour for lunch and artisans’ offerings.

After Dec. 4th there will be a box outside the front door of the firehall that will be emptied daily.  The last collection will be December 16 in the morning so that we can get the donations to Chemainus in time. 

The top 5 food items needed are:  canned fruits & vegetables, canned beans, canned soups, canned tuna, and pasta & pasta sauce.  Other food donation considerations are: juice, cereal, baby food, diapers (size 6), toilet paper, bar soap and peanut butter.

Small new toys or gifts (must be unwrapped) were accepted last year and also gift wrapping, even opened rolls, were accepted for the parents wanting to wrap their own gifts for their children.

*Please check expiry or ‘best before’ dates
