Realtor donates $2,000 to local Food Bank
Royal LePage Realtor Wally Meili says he is inspired by the generosity of the community and how it shows up throughout the year to help those in need.
As a result, Meili has decided to donate to the local Food Bank this year by presenting a cheque of $2,000 to help boost its coffers for the Christmas season.
Meili presented the cheque to the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank on Wednesday, December 12. It is a welcomed monetary donation in one of the busiest seasons of the year for the Food Bank.
“We like to support things like this in the community. We live and work here and the people of Moose Jaw are very supportive of our company, so I think it was important to give back. It is wonderful to live in this type of generous community and we’re inspired by how much people and local businesses give back to our community,” said Meili. Deann Little, Assistant Manager at the Food Bank thanked Meili for choosing the Food Bank to give back. “Most of our monetary funds come in during the month of December, so receiving a sizeable cheque like this is very welcomed at this point in time. This cheque will be helpful because we do purchase some items like milk and eggs when we’re handing out roughly 360 hampers per month. We’re therefore buying approximately 360 dozen eggs each month.
“So, this money will go a long way to be able to purchase some of these items that are needed. We want to say ‘thank you’ again to the community and wish everyone a merry Christmas. When the community donates, it stays right here and benefits locals who are in need of our services.”
