STUFF A BUS!!!

by Fox on Dec.04, 2009, under Events

For the last four years, SSCC students at the Kelowna campus have ‘given back’ by donating “non-perishable” food items to the Kelowna Food Bank via STUFF A BUS Campaign!

Students are given two rules:
#1 No money; just food
#2 Make sure you are taken care of before you take care of others

Since the Kelowna campus first started our involvement with this community event, the Kelowna campus have continuously exceeded the previous years total. This year, the bar was set HIGH… and at one point… Kelowna thought they had raised the bar TOO HIGH!! Last years total was $1,700.00 so logically they set their new target at $2000.00!

It is with great pride to announce that not only did the Kelowna campus meet the $2000.00 target, but they BEAT IT!! The overall total was $2,700.00!!! The Kelowna campus broke all records but students and staff buying into a cause close to our communities heart. On November 26, 2009, students and staff announced the total raised, live on the popular morning radio station, Sun FM with Tarzan Dan and Susan Knight.

A local company heard what Sprott Shaw was doing and wanted to donate money on Sprott Shaw’s behalf. Special thanks to Command Industries who cut a cheque for $200.00, which has given the Kelowna Food Bank over $600.00 worth of food. The ripple effect has indeed started!!!

In the Kelowna community, this campaign is a one week promotion. Sprott Shaw Community College has contributed to help raise over $5000.00 over 18,00 pounds of food for the Kelowna Food bank in total. Congrats to all staff and students… everyone did such an inspirational job!! Well done!!

The target for next year has been set!! I am sure that will not be a problem!!
