Calgary, AB (December 10, 2009) - It is no surprise that charities and other non-profit organizations suffer during economic downturns. Although the economy is on the mend, public and private donations have yet to rebound and individuals are reluctant to donate as much as they have in the past. Many charities such as The Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank have seen an increase in visitors and are in desperate need of support this holiday season.
“We are proud to partner with the Calgary Inter Faith food bank this year for the Jingle Bells Food Drive” says Jason Snydmiller, President/ CEO Tangent Environmental Technologies. “2009 has been a tough year for everyone. Many people who had never thought that they would need to ask for help have found themselves struggling to put food on the table. It is important to help those in need during the holiday season. One food item donation can go a long way in helping a hungry family get through a tough time.”
We would like to invite you to join us December 4th - 17th on our mission to feed Calgary’s hungry by donating a food item at one of our many drop-off locations around the city.
Who: Jingle Bells and Stock the Shelves business partners in collaboration with the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank
