Paul Rehill, the franchisee owner of the Subway location in Vegreville, dropped off a $1,000 cheque at the Vegreville Food Bank on Friday, May 25. Coordinator Joanna Karczmarek graciously accepted the donation on behalf of the Vegreville Food Bank Society at its distribution centre.

Rehill said he is celebrating his 17 anniversary of business in the community. Normally he said they donate subs every year, but decided to give a cash donation this year in light of COVID-19.

Karczmarek said donations have been steady as of late. Initially, the number of clients decreased when the health crisis hit, but said the numbers have been steadily climbing, and she expects it to return to normal in September. As of publishing, the Food Bank will be open June 12 and 26.
