The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades went walking through the Abbotsford community on Saturday, December 17 and Sunday, December 18th, knocking on doors looking for donations of non-perishable items for the Abbotsford Food Bank. The project was very successful as they were able to fill 21 boxes with food for the Abbotsford Food Bank.
The walk and knock was headed by Alexa McCarthy, a third year Kinesiology major, and her teammates on the women’s basketball team. “Besides women’s basketball, we had help from the rowing, women’s soccer and men’s volleyball teams, it was a great department effort,” said Chilliwack, BC native.
The team already had set up several boxes in the Envision Athletic Centre lobby (gymnasium on Abbotsford campus) for members of the UFV community to drop off can goods when they come to work out at the centre, these boxes are going to be there until Wednesday, December 21st.
Anyone wishing to donate can drop off non-perishable goods at the EAC or go directly to the Abbotsford Food Bank at www.abbotsfordfoodbank.com
