The Pictou West and River John Food Banks got a boost.
A number of firefighting departments in Pictou County held their third annual Firefighters for the Food Bank Holiday Food Drive on Saturday, December 6th.
Glen Joudrie, a lieutenant with the Caribou Fire Department says they raised $4,450 in cash and 2,500 kilograms of food was collected.
The Caribou, Pictou, River John, West River, Abecrombie and Scotsburn Fire Departments accepted donations at their fire halls of non-perishable food items as well as essentials like toothpaste and deodorant on Saturday. Also the Pictou County 4-H collected items at the Toney River Community Hall.
