H2H and Food Banks
BC Athletics is pleased to announce that a portion of the proceeds from the Haney to Harrison Road Relay and 100 km Ultra Event (totalling $6000.00) will be donated to and shared equally amongst the Food Banks through which the Haney/Harrison Road Relay and 100 km Ultra Run takes place. The Food Banks identified in 2008 through the Food Banks of British Columbia listing were:
- Agassiz-Harrison Food Bank — Laurie Sallis, Food Bank Coordinator, Agassiz-Harrison Community Services, 604-796-2585, htrautmann@shawlink.ca
- Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Food Bank — Cheryl Finnie, Food Bank Coordinator, Friends In Need Food Bank, 604-466-3663, director@friendsfoodbank.com
- Saint Joseph's Food Bank — Mission — Patrick Kerry, Director, 604-820-1929
The association of Athletics / Running with the Food Banks links directly with the need for nutritious food for a healthy and physically active lifestyle. Providing financial support to the Food Banks means that for each dollar donated the Food Banks can buy $3.00 worth of food.
You can also help the Food Banks
by Donating Non-perishable food.
