To support individuals and families facing food insecurity, Qualicum Beach Fire Rescue will be out in the community asking for cash donations to help fill their boots.
The annual ‘Fill the Boot for Food’ campaign will be taking place on November 14 and 15 between 10 am and 5 pm. Qualicum Beach firefighters will accept cash donations at the Fire Hall (130 Rupert Rd East), outside Qualicum Foods (705 Memorial Ave), and at the Qualicum Beach BC Liquor Store (706 Primrose St).
Residents are encouraged to support the campaign, which directs funds to the local Salvation Army Food Bank, providing food to those in need across Qualicum Beach and neighbouring communities.
Started in 1997, the food drive now includes eight fire departments in District 69 raising funds to support local food security. Participating departments include Bow Horn Bay, Coombs Hilliers, Dashwood, Deep Bay, Errington, Nanoose, Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
