107.9 CKBG The Burg partnered with Rob & Tina’s No Frills, Amherstburg Admirals and Amherstburg Public School on a food drive for the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission. APS started its campaign Dec. 2 and it ends Dec. 13.
CKBG staff and volunteers were at No Frills in Amherstburg Dec. 7 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. where they collected canned goods and non-perishable food items. They ended up with two pickup truck loads. The Amherstburg Admirals offered one canned food to be $1 off admission for their home game at Libro Centre Dec. 8. The total from the weekend was just under 1,000 items and when mission president Tim McAllister looked at the load, he estimated the value at $4,000 worth of food.
There was also a little over $100 in cash donations. The staff at Rob & Tina’s No Frills “were incredible,” says CKBG, and the radio station says they are “extremely thankful for their partnership and support.”
