Ahead of the holiday season, Joe Rich Fire Rescue is set to help out the local community for the 20th straight year.
On Sunday, Nov. 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Joe Rich Fire Rescue members will be travelling throughout the community to collect food, cash, and cheque donations that will go to the Central Okanagan Food Bank.
Last year, the community food drive raised over 1,145 kilograms of food and more than $2,295 in donations.
A mix of non-perishable food items are welcome with pasta, rice, canned goods, cereal, baby food, and diapers needed most.
Those in the community can leave the items on their doorstep, porch, or at the end of their driveway on the morning of the event or drop off donations between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at either Station 51 (11481 Highway 33 East) or Station 52 (6550 Goudie Road).
