Wingham Foodland has made a $1,436.20 donation on behalf of shoppers to North Huron Food Share as part of the Sobey’s Holiday Fundraising Campaign.
Any shopper at Foodland was asked if they’d like to make a donation to the campaign and the result was just over $1400 from those who donated.
This was but one part of a national campaign which raised $5.1 million in food and funds. Sobey’s themselves donated $250,000 to the total. $3.1 million was collected from shoppers at the checkout, another $1.35 million in food hamper sales.
