Gift of Canadian Tire money led to a bonus for Fare Share clients Oakville's Fare Share food bank recently received a donation of a different nature that allowed its volunteers to give clients a special gift during their next visit. In March, Fare Share volunteers were working in the back room of the food bank when an anonymous donor left a bag on the floor of the waiting room. Once they opened it, they discovered it was full of Canadian Tire money -- the equivalent of approximately $420. While determining how best to spend the donation, Fare Share volunteer board member Ron Ziegel and Nancy Bromberg, the food bank's volunteer president, decided they would treat their client families upon their next visit in April with a bottle of dish soap. "Our clients were delighted because the dish detergent is something they often request but we never have available to distribute," said Bromberg. "The food bank would like to thank this person and to tell him that we put his donation to good use." Located at 1240 Speers Rd., Fare Share food bank has been helping local families in need since 1988 and currently serves 350-400 families (approximately 1,200 people) every month.
