The Martensville Food Pantry (MFP) has been very busy receiving donations from generous contributors in the month of October.
The Martensville & District Lions Club held their annual ‘Fill the Trailer’ Event on Thanksgiving weekend at the Martensville Co-Op Food Store, and it was a very successful weekend.
Domino’s Pizza offered a fundraiser for four days when you ordered a certain ‘pizza special.’ $5 from every order went to the Martensville Food Pantry. “We appreciate Domino’s for their support from that Fundraiser,” said MFP volunteer Tara.
On October 31st, the U18AA, U15AA, and U13AA did a Halloween Food Drive for the Martensville Food Pantry, and the result was a huge success with a huge volume of non-perishables.
“Thank you so much to all the teams, their parents & the community! We’re so appreciative,” the MFP stated via social media.
“There was also wonderful support from the Ron Gurski family and community when Gurski had a Halloween display up for the month of October, asking people to donate, either non-perishables or monetary to the Pantry, and it went so well that he volunteered to do it again next year,” commented Tara.
Martensville Food Pantry is located at 66 Main Street, Room 2 at the Martensville Civic Centre. If you want to donate, or are in need of a hamper, call 306-280-1255 or email martensvillefoodpantry@gmail.com.
