In 2003, over 200 people joined together to attend the Surrey Food Bank’s first ever Breakfast with the Bank. Over $20,000 was donated during that one hour event. It was just the beginning of many more.
This year, our 10th anniversary, Breakfast with the Bank 2012, we expect over 700 people from all sectors of our community
to help us raise over $100,000. Many people marvel at how a not for profit organization is able to bring together so many people who show their support to our organization so early in the morning and raise so much money in such a short period of time. One of our faithful donors who acts as a table captain and invites nine of his colleagues every year often remarks, "I ask people to come to this event which starts at 7:00 in the morning. I tell them it’s a light breakfast of coffee and muffins, after all the food bank is there to feed people who really need their help, and then I ask them for their money – which of course is donated to a great cause." This donor and his guests have raised thousands of dollars for us over the past ten years and we are truly grateful for the gifts our whole community offers every year.
Please consider joining us on Friday, May 18 from 7:00 am – 8:00 am at the Bollywood Banquet Hall in Surrey. Call Katrina Albert at 604.581.5443 or email Katrina for more information on becoming a table captain.
You will have an incredible experience as we share our story and join our community to support those families who struggle with some of life’s greatest challenges. This ‘signature event’ does make a difference and so do you.
