Kelowna’s Pandosy Square Apartments on Pandosy Street.
Residents of Kelson Group apartments across B.C. and Alberta, including 27 in Kamloops and three in Kelowna, donated 6,000 pounds of food to food banks through the company’s fourth annual food drive.
The Kelson Group Residents’ Food Drive was held last Wednesday in 10 apartment buildings across both provinces. The company’s locations in Kelowna are Buckland Manor Apartments, Pandosy Square Apartments and Fraser Manor Apartments.
“A heartfelt thank you to our residents who combined, donated a whopping 6,000 pounds of non- perishable food items,” Kelson Group maintenance and construction vice-president Kelly Fawcett said in a press release. “We know in these COVID-19 times many are struggling to make ends meet, so to have such generosity displayed by our residents to help others in their communities is quite astounding.”
Kelson donates one dollar for every pound of non-perishable food items that is collected, so $6,000 is on its way to food banks across B.C. and Alberta.
“Seeing an event like this, where Kelson Group residents and staff work together to offer something so meaningful to the communities we live in, makes us all proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish together,” Fawcett said. “In a world where hunger permeates our neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces and community at large, we could not think of a better area to support. We know these donations will have a big impact on others.”
