Kitchener - Chicopee Ski & Summer Resort is hosting a day of FUNdraising on Saturday September 19 for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. The proceeds from all recreational activities including disc golf, tennis, beach volleyball, biking and climbing will be passed along as a cash donation in an effort to help restock the empty shelves of the Food Bank. Donations of non-perishable food items will also be collected.

“The tremendous support of this community has ensured that we have the resources to meet the increasing need for food assistance as those affected by the changes in the economy transition to the next phase of their lives,” said Wendi Campbell, Executive Director of The Food Bank. “Continued support will be critical as we move through this difficult period.”

"It was recently noted in the local news that demand is up and donations are stretched for the Food Bank and being a proud community supporter, we wanted to see what we could do to help? stated Reg Verley, Executive Director at Chicopee. ?This community always goes above and beyond. We?re expecting great support for this event and look forward to doing what we can to help with the aid of our neighbors and members.”
