Jingle Bells and Stock the Shelves Food Drive In Support of the Calgary Inter Faith Food Bank

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 4, 2009 -- Calgary, AB (December, 2009) - It is no surprise that charities and other non-profit organizations suffer during economic downturns. Although the economy is on the mend, public and private donations have yet to rebound and individuals are reluctant to donate as much as they have in the past. Many charities such as The Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank have seen an increase in visitors and are in desperate need of support this holiday season.

“It is important for us to make sure that no one goes hungry this Christmas” says James Agnew, President Signature Kitchen Builders Inc. “We have rallied many Calgary businesses to partner with us in the hope that by providing multiple food drop-off locations, together we can gather enough food to feed Calgary’s hungry this year!”

We would like to invite you to join us December 4th - 17th on our mission to feed Calgary’s hungry by donating a food item at one of our many drop-off locations around the city.
