TIVFD Collecting Food, Gifts, Cheques & More....

One Week Left. The last day the TIVFD will be collecting food, unwrapped gifts, toiletries and Christmas gift wrap and sundries, is by next Wednesday, December 18 by 6 pm.

We also take cheques made out to Harvest House Chemainus.

We have collected 300 lbs of food for the food bank so far. Let’s try to make it to a round 500 lbs. (226.8 Kg) to help out Harvest House and the Thetis Food Pantry users.

Thank you to all whom have already donated. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
