The fifth annual Five Hole For Food (FHFF) cross-country road hockey tour has come to a close and we would like to thank all those staff and customers who came out with loads of food and support all in fun for such an important cause. In the past month, stores have been collecting food donations and on tour stops in Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver, a sea of LD blue-outfitted players played hockey for our local food banks with the amazing volunteer team from FHFF.
More than 60,000 lbs of food was raised by LD’ers this year, contributing towards the FHFF five-year grand total of 1 million lbs of food benefitting Canada’s food banks.
FHFF’s mission to be one of Canada’s premier food fund raising movements by 2017 is surely possible given this group’s passion and dedication to the cause, and London Drugs is proud to be part of it!
A big thank you to all of the volunteers who made this year’s FHFF such a huge success and to all who contributed to Canada’s food banks!
Play on!
Following the fourth theft of crucial emergency supplies from North Shore Rescue (NSR) London Drugs will provide assistance including eight surveillance cameras for the rescue cache sites and starting today, London Drugs’ two North Shore stores will begin accepting at-till donations. The London Drugs at 2032 Lonsdale Avenue and Park Royal will now have the ability for customers to assist in replenishing NSR’s lifesaving equipment with scan-a-donation at the cashier tills.
To directly support North Shore Rescue, you can also donate at their website www.northshorerescue.com.
Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Five Hole for Food (FHFF) hits Edmonton today, one of three last legs on the popular cross-country road hockey tour with Victoria on Friday and Vancouver on Saturday, July 19th. London Drugs is proud to have already raised more than double the amount last year, approximately 59,000 lbs of food for food banks across Canada and worth about $30,000.

The Calgary Stampede is over, which means so are the famous pancake breakfasts. However, Red Deer’s Westerner Days are just about to ramp up, and London Drugs is bringing the pancake breakfast to a whole new level with not one, not two, but FIVE breakfasts all in support of five local charities.
This marks the 15th year London Drugs has hosted the breakfasts, with thousands of people coming out to support each year. In 2013, more than 3,000 people came down to get their flapjack fix, and even more are expected this year.
All proceeds raised from each daily breakfast will support the designated charity for that day.
