MLA Mungall collecting food at community office
By Contributor
Tis the season to give.
This year, Michelle Mungall’s community office is collecting food in support of a number of service-providers throughout the region. In addition, Mungall is encouraging people to take it a step further this year when they drop off their donation by signing a postcard for a poverty reduction plan.
“This year, my colleagues and I are asking people to think about the effect poverty has on their lives and the lives of their neighbours, friends, and others in the community,” said Mungall.
“Having managed a local food bank, I know the incredibly important work they do in our communities. However, they will be the first to remind us, that the long term solution to poverty needs to come from a government enacted poverty reduction plan. B.C. is one of two provinces in Canada that doesn’t have one.”
People are invited to make a donation of non-perishable food at Mungall’s community office Monday through Thursday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. until December 19th or at her mobile office at the Creston Library December 13th.
Also, everyone is invited to join Michelle to celebrate the Holiday Season at her community events.
All are welcome for hot chocolate at the Creston Rec Centre December 7th from 2-4p.m. and at her Annual Holiday Lunch at Our Daily Bread, December 17th 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
