USW District 3 Donates To Burns Lake Food Bank
USW District 3 Donates To Burns Lake Food Bank
United Steelworkers District 3# Wood Council Chair Bob Matters presented Betty Mathews treasurer from the Burns Lake Food Bank a cheque for $20,000 dollars. According to volunteer food bank coordinator Joanna Carnie the food bank needs about $2,000 a month to stock hampers for those in need so this donation represents all most a year of funding. The donation also provides the opportunity for the food bank to provide some of the other basic non- food items people and families need in any given month.
