The Township of Esquimalt and its CUPE employees will again be collecting food items from Esquimalt households as part of the 12th Annual Esquimalt Christmas Food Drive.
The food drive will be held from Monday, December 12th to Thursday, December 22nd, 2011, and will be in support of Esquimalt Neighbourhood House, a multi-service social service agency that provides emergency meals for individuals and families in Esquimalt.
Esquimalt residents can participate by placing non-perishable food items in bags labelled “Food Drive” and setting them alongside their garbage cans on collection day for pick up.
Food items will be collected by Township crews on normal pick-up days according to the following schedule:
- During the week of December 12 -16, 2011 food bags will be gathered from the north side route (north of Old Esquimalt Road).
- During the week of December 19 – 22, 2011 food bags will be gathered from the south side route (south of Old Esquimalt Road).
Food donations will also be accepted at the Municipal Hall (1229 Esquimalt Road) or the Esquimalt Public Works Yard (601 Canteen Road) from December 12th to December 22nd.
