The cost of nutritious food keeps going up, putting it further beyond the reach of some families in Delta.
All of the net proceeds from the Ladner Rotary “Shred for Food” event on Saturday, April 4th, will go to the South Delta Food Bank plus the Rotary club’s “food pantry” for Delta Secondary School students, from families in need, on weekends during the school year.
The April 4th Shred A Thon, sponsored by Ladner-based companies, Ideal Door Ltd., Millenium Pacific Greenhouse and Fortis BC, will be open from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Eastlink (Delta Cable), at 5381 Ladner Trunk Road in Ladner. A donation of $15 per banker’s box of paper dropped off for secure shredding on the spot in Ladner site will help with food security for those who need a hand up.
Any individual, company or organization can bring their old tax returns, credit card bills, business records, bank statements, and personal information documents so a shredding company can safely and securely shred the paper on the spot.
“Rotary is all about the fellowship and friendships that develop among our members as we work together to provide service, to our community and our world, where it is needed,” says Ladner Rotary President Brian Coe. “In a way, generous residents of Ladner and Delta have participated with us in this cause of food security by participating in our Shred A Thon. So thank you to our local residents who have enabled us to pass along thousands of dollars in net proceeds to those who live and work among us and need it the most.”
