ROBINSON'S PHARMASAVE: COMMUNITY HEROES
In October 2022, we received a very generous donation from Robinson's Pharmasave. $1200.00 was collected for the month of September. Pictured are food bank volunteer Bernie Houle (L) and store manager Mona Lachance (R).
STUFF THE BUS
The Annual Stuff the Bus by Veterans's Transportation was held on October 4th. It was a huge success! Volunteer Jennifer Stables shows off the bus prior to take off! Mayoral candidate Doug Gervais lent a hand to help sort through the pile of goodies.
KIDS THESE DAYS!
Well, little kids and garage sale donations to the food bank are the going thing these days!
Today, 6 year old Chloe (sparking dress) and her 4 year old sister Olivia presented President Susan Kryzanowski with $402.60! The money was raised from a garage sale along with the sale of lemonade and muffins. Parents Joel and Katherine Marion could not be more proud. When asked by their parents who they would like to raise funds for, they said without hesitation "the food bank"!
What a wonderful town we live in and what great parents we are seeing instilling great values on their children. Both Joel and Katherine are no strangers to volunteering their time to worthwhile causes like the fire department and Joel has made a huge step in running for our local town council. Bravo to the Marion family!
JIM'S DONATES BIG!
We were presented with a very generous cheque in the amount of $3000.00 from Jim's Portable Toilet and Septic Service.
GARAGE SALES FOR THE WIN!
What a family! Thank you for your generous donation. One person's trash is another person's food bank haul!
GIANT TIGER = GIANT HEARTS
Giant Tiger donated 30 cases of pasta
sauce and 120 bags
of macaroni in July!
FRESH GARDEN PRODUCE!

THANKS CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH!
2022 has started off great for the Espanola Helping Hand Food Bank! Your generosity continues to astound us. A warm and heartfelt thank you goes out to Calvary Baptist Church and Northern Life Church, together we can make a difference.
THANKS CAROL HUGHES!
(March 2022) Just a few short months ago, MPP Carol Hughes generously donated fifteen 10 lb bags of potatoes to the EHHFB. It made for many a warm and cozy meal on chilly January nights, hurray for warmer days soon to come!

SMILE CAMPAIGN A HUGE SUCCESS!
We are celebrating our best year ever for the Smile Cookie Campaign at Tim Hortons!
We're thrilled to announce that we have raised $15,936 .00 thanks to the hard work and effort of our volunteers and the staff at both the McKerrow and Espanola Tim Horton's locations.
We want to thank Denis and Lynn Lefebrve and all of the staff at Tim Horton's for their constant support.
We want to thank the Lion's Club, Tanner's Independent Grocer, and the Espanola RBC for volunteering your time and helping us achieve this milestone.
Most of all, we want to thank all of our volunteers and our over 15,000 cookie loving supporters. Without each and every one of you, we never could have accomplished this amazing feat.
Thank you, from all of us at the Espanola Helping Hand Food Bank for another wonderful year!
"Every year, Denis and Lynn Lefebvre, owners of several Tim Horton franchises host the annual Smile Cookie Campaign with money donated back to the community.
The proceeds from the Espanola and McKerrow outlets go to the Espanola Helping Hand Food Bank and in Blind River they are donated to the North Shore Health Network, for the purchase of medical equipment.
Last year, total sales came in over $20,000 from all three outlets.
