Generous local businesses help food bank have good ending to the week
The end of the work week is proving much better than the start was for Sources Langley Food Bank. Last weekend, the food bank's van was stolen. In a separate incident, $1,000 worth of gift cards were stolen, and a gas card in the stolen van was taken and the food bank was charged to the tune of $1,300. However, the food bank shared the news about these thefts with the public, via local and provincial media, and the response has been amazing. A loaner van from Mercedes Benz and another from Willowbrook Chrysler are in use to pick up donations of food, and another van has been donated by a group of local business people. It will replace the stolen van, which was recovered on Saturday but is not driveable at present. Save-On-Foods replaced the stolen gift cards and donated $500 more. In addition, many generous people and businesses both within and outside Langley have chipped in to donate food and money to Sources, to ensure that no one in need goes hungry this Christmas.
