“Groups such as the Salvation Army that provide necessities to the less fortunate require a great amount of support,” says Mayor Lyn Hall of Prince George. “The smallest donation can help an individual or family in need. This is one of the most important parts of the holiday season.”

On December 19th, the mayor and members of City Council will help deliver the proceeds to the Salvation Army’s Curt Garland Community Support Centre.

Prince George has participated in Food for Fare for over 10 years, and has helped many families in need.
