Last Monday we dropped off almost 1 tonne of food to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank!!  The lovely man in the picture said he was very, very impressed and even knew our shops having bought a puzzle from us. That made our hearts sing!

At the beginning of our Share the Love Food Drive, we were a little discouraged.  No one was bringing food! We kept hearing that it was such a great idea, but where was the food? Were people confused? Was it just another art installation, what were we doing??  With a little personal explanation to our clients, we were able to fill both the Port Moody and Commercial Drive windows with lots food for the Food Bank.  In the end, our lovely communities pulled together and made a huge donation possible.  A special big thanks to our neighbour, Havana Restaurant, who donated a whopping 100 cans.  And, another big thanks to Peter, who got to use his new truck and his muscles to transport the goods!

Once again, we thank you and the Vancouver Food Bank thanks you.

As promised, we have held a draw for two $50 gift certificates to dandelion KIDS and x2 Danica Chef’s Apron & Hat sets. And the winners are:

$50 Gift Certificates- Audey Korpus and his son will have fun spending their gift certificate as will Melissa Reid for her newborn baby!

Chef’s Apron/Hat sets – Annie Tomljanovic’s 3 year old daughter, Lara (see photo below!) will be stylin’ in the kitchen and so will June Thompson’s little one.

If you didn’t have a chance to donate, please take the time to drop off your donations at Greater Vancouver Food Bank, located at 1150 Raymur Avenue, 5 minutes from dandelion KIDS on the Drive.

Our end result…
