Local ambulance gets stuffed!
Michael Simpson Editor On October 3, Vegreville’s Emergency Ser vices department rolled up to the Vegreville Food Bank at the Maple Street Worship Center and unloaded nearly 2,000 pounds of donated food to the charity along with approximately $750 in cash donations after another successful “Stuff and Ambulance” event which took place at three different locations in town; Baron’s No Frills, Co-op and Walmart. “Once again Vegreville
Emergency Ser v ices appreciates the support of all businesses and citizens during this event, and we look forward to continuing this activity to provide much needed food at that time of the year when it can matter most. We want to make sure ever yone in Vegreville and the surrounding area has something to be thankful for,” Chris Jardine, Emergency Ser vices Coordinator, said. The Stuff an Ambulance event builds on a philosophy being embraced by
Emergency Services in which the staff is more than just people you can rely on for help in difficult situations, but also that the Ambulance and Fire departments be community-minded with their staff and help out in different ways – ones that help bind the fabric of community tighter. The event, which is in its fourth year, has switched to a bi-annual style so that drives are held shortly before Thanksgiving and Easter holidays from now on. Pictured are Food Bank
