2018 Sounds of the Season food drive best one yet for CBC Windsor
Our annual Sounds of the Season campaign collected a record-breaking amount of donations in 2018.
Annual campaign collects donations for local food bank
Donations poured in for CBC Windsor's annual Sounds of the Season food drive. For just over a month, the community gave generously to Windsor Essex Food Bank Association.
A total of 25,387 kilograms (55,970 pounds) of food and $30,235 was collected for the campaign in 2018 — CBC Windsor's highest yet.
Of that, 3,628 kilograms (8,000 pounds) was donated by the Sikh Cultural Society of Metropolitan Windsor.
The numbers represent an increase of roughly 6,350 kilograms (14,000 pounds) and $10,000 more than last year's collection totals.
The donations will go to the association, which represents 15 food banks.
