Albert County Appreciation Days breaks the record!

Each year, The Hopewell Rocks dedicates the proceeds of the admissions of two “Albert County Appreciation Days” to the Shepody Food Bank...one in May and one in September.
 
On behalf of the clients, volunteers and Board of Directors, we want to thank management, staff and visitors for the great success of this year’s events. In May, we received $4,102.00 plus 3100 pounds of non-perishable food contributions. On September 25th, the event broke all of the previous records! We received donations of  $5,278.58 in cash and 454 pounds of food.
During 2015, the Shepody Food Bank provided 100,000 pounds of emergency food supplies to 71 families in the area from Alma to the Upper Albert Mines Road. In addition, we provided cereal, fresh fruit and vegetables for the Breakfast Program at the Riverside Consolidated School.
 
It is important for members of our community to know that The Hopewell Rocks is a great model of corporate citizenship.
 
Thanks to everyone for your great support.

About the writer:  Roy Ries is the Treasurer of the Shepody Food Bank.
