Lot 10 Brewing Co. and its “Mug Club” adopted two families for Christmas through the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission.
Christmas is about caring and sharing and that spirit is certainly evident this holiday season in Amherstburg.
Staff and members of the “Mug Club” of Lot 10 Brewing Co. stepped up in a big way and made a donation Sunday afternoon.
The recipient of their generosity will help sponsor two area families through the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission.
“We try to support local and keep it in Amherstburg,” said Lot 10 co-owner Brian Fowkes.
Lot 10 has been in the downtown area of Amherstburg for five years and is co-owned by Fowkes, his brother Jeff and their uncle Gerry VanDerheide.
On Sunday afternoon when they presented their gifts to the Mission, Lot 10 was closed to the public and it was an afternoon for the staff and “Mug Club”
members to meet with Mission president Tim McAllister and several of his staff.
According to Brian Fawkes, Lot 10 are very pleased to be able to help out the two local families which include four children.
“We wanted to give back to the community. Everyone is having a tough time. We are fortunate to be able to give back,” said Fowkes.
While this is the first time for the local Dalhousie St. brewery to support the Mission at Christmas, Fowkes says it will become an annual opportunity to help out and next year hopes to be able to sponsor more families.
Anyone wishing to donate to the Mission can do so at 298 Victoria St. S. or call 519-736-9140. People may alsovisit their website, found at www.aburgmission.ca.
