Taxable Item Drive in Ingersoll

Wednesday, 21 October 2020 16:28

Operation Sharing is hosting a taxable item drive tomorrow at the Independent Grocery Store in Ingersoll this Friday from 8am-6pm.

INGERSOLL - Operation Sharing is hosting a taxable item drive tomorrow at the Independant Grocery Store in Ingersoll.

Organizer Chris Eby says right now their cupboards are bare.

"We will hand you a list of the items needed at our office and the reason we hand the list is because this is the items that we need generally for our Food for Friends clients. We're giving to our clients for free and that's so they can buy more nutritious food for their families and themselves."

These items can be from toilet paper, kleenex, toothpaste and other essential items where customers will get tax off.

Eby says any sort of contribution will help.

"We're getting more and more people all the time and we're averaging now probably 15 families everyday on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at our Food for Friends program. And it's an essential part of life with the Food For Friends that we can actually be there for them and give them a hand up, not a hand out."

All of the proceeds will go towards their Food For Friends program.

It goes from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Independant in Ingersoll. They will be having another taxable item drive at the Scott's No Frills in Woodstock. Both taxable item drives are sponsored by Select Heating and Cooling.
