Okanagan Orthodontics Annual Christmas Food Bank Drive!
November 25th, 2014
Did you know our office is a big supporter of the Kelowna Community Food Bank? We have held an annual Christmas Food Bank Drive in November and December for more than 15 years. Our annual goal of food donated to the food bank has grown this year to 2,150, with well over 10,000 pounds of food donated in the last 5 years alone. All this food goes directly to those in need in our own community but we couldn’t do that without our amazing patients bringing in items to their appointments.
Our staff members are also challenged to bring in much needed items. We have had fun over the years bringing in creative and HEAVY donations. Some of our favourites over the last few years have been HUGE bags of rice, flour and sugar which the food bank can divide between multiple families.
We like to make everything a fun experience so we hold a Giveaway in our office.
- Grand Prize $150.00 to Orchard Park Mall
- 4 Secondary Prizes $50.00 to Orchard Park Mall
A huge thanks to all of our patients, parents, and staff for all of that they have given over the years.
