Real Estate Food Drive Biggest Yet

Sunday, 22 April 2012 at 07:35

The Woodstock Ingersoll and District Real Estate Board is thanking all its partners, and the community for another huge success. Board President Laurie Goldhawk says this week's door-to-door food drive was the biggest yet. "We think we gathered about eight thousand pounds of food." And that's not counting all the food gathered for the Ingersoll Food Bank. 170 volunteers came together for the drive Wednesday night. The food banks say they are still in need of children's snacks and instant coffee if anyone who was missed by the drive would like to donate.
