The Starfish Pack Program, which has independently operated branches all across B.C., uses volunteers to pack bags full of healthy and tasty meals for school children who come from struggling families.
Shiela Guinan, branch manager of the downtown Maple Ridge Westminster Savings location, along with fellow staff members Kim Borthwick and Parita Patel, handed Ineke Boekhorst, with the Meadow Ridge Rotary’s Starfish Pack Program, a cheque for $2,300.
Plants will be available Dec. 7 or later for pick-up and delivery.
On June 9th, a car boot sale was held to raise money in support for the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Starfish Pack Program.
