The donations weighed in at an outstanding total of 18,825 pounds, far exceeding last year’s 13,000 pounds. Ian McKelvie, Community Food Share administrator said the organization also received $590 in cash donations plus a $1,000 Team Action Grant from the Winchester branch of RBC. Donations from Morewood, Finch and Chesterville were brought to the Chesterville Arena before being transported for weighing.
