It’s that time of year again, to play hockey for food! London Drugs is proud to once again support Canadian initiative Five Hole For Food (FHFF) in its quest to raise half-a-million pounds of food for Canadian food banks in its fifth annual coast-to-coast road hockey tour. The campaign launched yesterday in St. John’s, and London Drugs stores and staff will participate in the Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, and Vancouver games.
While the FHFF team travels across the country in a FHFF and London Drugs co-branded wrapped vehicle, London Drugs customers can definitely join in on the fun. Look for your local food bank bin at participating London Drugs stores and drop off a donation. Stores will also have special FHFF pricing on a variety of food items to increase donations.
FHFF also adds to its all-star list of hockey ambassadors this year with TSN hockey analyst and insider Bob McKenzie. Others include NHL players Kyle Turris and Roberto Luongo, and Vancouver Canucks team president, Trevor Linden.
This is London Drugs’ fourth year in supporting FHFF. Last year we raised more than 26,000 pounds worth of food. We hope to surpass the amount in 2014!
