Global renewable energy company Drax donated $65,000 to 12 food banks across B.C. and Alberta through this past holiday season through the company’s dedicated Community Fund.
“It’s donations and support from community members and businesses such as yours that make it possible for the food bank to run throughout the year working hard to support our community members who need us,” stated Jennifer Palmer-Ciccone, manager of the Armstrong Food Bank.
Drax’s Community Fund awarded more than $821,000 in donations in 2024, including more than $100,000 to food banks across the globe.
“Drax continues to be committed to supporting the communities we live, and operate in. We believe it’s important to show our appreciation to our communities, especially during the holiday season,” said Sandy Sung, Drax’s Canadian community manager. “We hope these donations help local food banks in British Columbia and Alberta support the higher than ever demand they are currently experiencing due to the increased cost of living.”
Canadian food banks that received funding this past holiday season included the Armstrong Food Bank (Boys and Girls Club Okanagan); Lake District Family Enhancement Society; WEE Community Food Bank; High Level Native Friendship Centre; Salvation Army Bulkley Valley, Lumby Food Bank, Nourish Food Bank (Quesnel); Salvation Army Prince George; Princeton Food Bank; Greater Vancouver Food Bank; Salvation Army Prince Rupert; and the Salvation Army Williams Lake.
