The Township of Esquimalt and its CUPE employees made an early Christmas delivery to the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House on Friday December 19th in the form of two large pallets of donated food, weighing an estimated 1000 pounds. Donations for the drive were collected from generous residents during regularly scheduled garbage pickup days in December and also accepted at Municipal Hall, Esquimalt Recreation Centre, Archie Browning Sports Centre, and the Public Works Yard. Acting Mayor Lynda Hundleby and Public Works employees were on hand to present the donated food to Esquimalt Neighbourhood House Executive Director Mary Lynn McKenna and Board Chair Brian Mee. Food donation boxes will continue to be located in Township facilities until December 23rd, 2014
