Kids fundraise for turkeys

Give money, or give a turkey – and help the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank.

Students at Kelowna's Willowstone Academy will be accepting donations Friday morning to help fill Christmas food hampers

Cash donations will purchase more turkeys, with a goal of 200 gobblers to help put Christmas dinner on the table for the less fortunate.

The kids will be fundraising from 7 to 10 a.m. at the school on Lakeshore Road. 

“Central to the rigorous academic learning that is happening at our school, is the inner work that our students are doing to discover who they are as an individual, and who they are in community with others,” says Willowstone community developer Heather Sandager.

“Hosting an event like our first annual Turkey Drive in partnership with the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank offers our students a rewarding, hands-on experience of giving back to the community in a way that creates a positive impact.”
