The Armstrong Regional Co-op has once again drummed up funds for local food banks this holiday season. 

The annual campaign by the Co-op and ARC Liquor raised more than $12,000 this year for food banks in the regions it serves, which includes Armstrong, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Revelstoke, Kelowna and Cranbrook.
