On Thursday morning, volunteers across the Pontiac posted up at snowy intersections from Allumette Island to Shawville for the annual Bouffe Pontiac Food Drive.
Working in partnership with local fire departments and police, 48 volunteers gathered at high traffic areas on Allumette Island, Campbell’s Bay and Shawville from 6 to 9 a.m., collecting cash and donations from commuters.
This year’s total haul was an incredible $8,850 and 335 kg. of food. In a press release, Bouffe Pontiac Director Ellen Boucher said that the donations will allow the organization to prepare 160 Christmas baskets for local families in need.
