Filll the Fi
Freezer A conversation between volunteers from Camrose Community Church and staff at Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre about the incredible community demand at the Food Bank this fall resulted in store owner Rob Hauser donating the fridge/freezer combination shown in the photo below. It will be permanently housed at the church. This institution partners with Camrose Food Bank, under the banner Community Cupboard, and helps distribute fresh and frozen food to diligently screened recipients who are currently in a temporary position of need. Naturally, step two is to fill this unit, and the box in which it came, multiple times between now and Monday, December 9.
Jo-Anne Tweed, program director of Camrose Neighbor Aid Center, is optimistic that Camrose will come through to fill these empty shelves.
Chelsey Hollman, who manages the kitchen and appliance centre at Hauser Home Hardware, reached out to fellow local small business owners to enlighten them on the current non-perishable food shortage. This resulted in a host of donations, each meant to make a difference in the pre-Christmas campaign. Ultimately, three impressive gift baskets, with a cumulative value of over $1,000, have been assembled using these generous donations. These will be awarded by way of draw, open to anyone who brings a food or other donation used to replenish the shelves at Camrose Food Bank, which is operated by Neighbor Aid.
Below, volunteers at the Community Cupboard, Wendell Mullet, John Berger and Wendell Brown, admire the new fridge/ freezer donated by Hauser Home Hardware (represented by Chelsey Hollman, second from right in the photo).
