The Val Caron branch of BrokerUnion, an insurance firm, officially launches the food drive on Oct. 6. The drive will run for the month of October to gather non-perishable food items. Those who donate can bring home a free pumpkin (120 pumpkins will be available while supplied last).  To take part in the drive and get a pumpkin, drop off non-persishable food items to BrokerUnion Val Caron, 2924 Old Hwy 69 N Unit 6.

“Our food drive will run throughout the entire month of October, with 120 pumpkins available while quantities last,” said Val Caron BrokerUnion branch manager Kevin Staron in a news release. “We would also like to thank our partners; Leisure Farms in Sturgeon Falls as well as Honey Dew Farm in Massey for donating the pumpkins to ensure our food drive is successful.”

The John Howard Society commends these local efforts by our community members.  Many of our clients rely on food banks for the necessities of life.  Many thanks to Brokerunion and their staff !
