Big White Ski Resort is busy gearing up for its 61st season this winter, but first it is giving back to the community to help feed families on Thanksgiving.
The resort has donated $1,000 to Central Okanagan Food Bank, which will turn into $3,000 worth of Thanksgiving turkeys for those who who are experiencing food insecurity. Thanks to partnerships with food retailers, every $1 donated to the food bank turns into $3 worth of food.
“We’re thrilled that our donation will be able to help so many families this Thanksgiving,” Big White senior vice-president Michael J. Ballingall said in a press release. “We believe in the strength of community and the power of giving back. The Central Okanagan Food Bank does tremendous work to support those in need, and we are honoured to contribute to their efforts.
“We encourage everyone in the community to do what they can to support this important cause.”
Early-bird season passes at Big White are available until Oct. 20 on its website here, while donations of food, funds and time are always accepted at Central Okanagan Food Bank. You can learn more here.
