Eight months into the COVID-19 pandemic and with many people struggling financially, a West Kelowna business is stepping in to help those in need.
EnviroMetal Towing and Scrap Car Removal owner Marlon Fagan said he just wanted to remind his neighbours that help is still available.
But besides that, he said he wanted to give back to the community that has helped him and his business grow. Every year, EnviroMetal distributes Christmas hampers so giving back is not new to Fagan, but he said that this year, he knows more families might be struggling financially.
He has committed to filling the fridges of strangers, in a safe way.
So he asked his neighbours if they need help. Even if his they didn香蕉视频直播檛 need anything, he asked them to pass on the message to let others know he香蕉视频直播檚 willing to help.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e already had five families ask for help. It香蕉视频直播檚 so hard to ask for help but it shows you how people are struggling,香蕉视频直播� he said.
香蕉视频直播淓verybody香蕉视频直播檚 in need. There香蕉视频直播檙e so many people that aren香蕉视频直播檛 working and I just want to give back to the community, especially to the people who need it at this moment. No kid or parent should go to bed hungry.香蕉视频直播�
He said he香蕉视频直播檚 already shopped for the five families and with the help of his wife and children, they香蕉视频直播檙e sanitizing the items as well as the bags they香蕉视频直播檒l be putting the grocery items in.
After that, they香蕉视频直播檒l be dropping off the bags at the families香蕉视频直播� doorstep to minimize COVID-19 exposure.

Fagan added he香蕉视频直播檚 also received many messages from other community members asking him how they can help, which he said was a nice surprise.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just a pay-it-forward system. I香蕉视频直播檝e gone through the drive-thru so many times and I don香蕉视频直播檛 even know who bought me a coffee, so I香蕉视频直播檓 doing the same thing. What comes around goes around and I just believe that if everybody makes a little bit of an effort, it would change the whole community at this moment,香蕉视频直播� he said.
Fagan knows he can香蕉视频直播檛 help the community alone, so he香蕉视频直播檚 asking for food donations.
If you wish to donate food items to be distributed in the community, you can contact Fagan and his team at envirometal@hotmail.ca or message them through.
