GORE BAY—The spirit of giving at Christmas time is certainly evident as four local groups, with the tremendous support of the community, have donated many food items and cash to the Lyons Memorial United Church toward the Gore Bay Food Cupboard.
Recently, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 514 in Gore Bay donated $500 to the Food Cupboard. Another $2,500 was donated from the Gore Bay-Western Manitoulin Lions Club through a 50/50 draw the club held.
Not to be outdone, the Gore Bay Fire Department assisted the food cupboard by collecting a trailer full of non-perishable food items on December 2 and cash donations in the amount of $725.35 being collected.
And last week, young children from the Gore Bay Daycare presented a large amount of non-perishable food items to the Food Cupboard.
