“So, if you have anything you can donate that’s new and unwrapped so that we know when the volunteers are sorting things, they know who to give it to and how to divide it and they don’t have to unwrap it. Things for children and youth. So preteens, teenagers, that sort of thing,” she said.

Additionally, on Sunday (Dec. 5), the City of Kamloops and BC Transit will host their ‘Stuff the Bus’ event at the Save-on-Foods Columbia Square location.

A city bus will be stuffed with non-perishable food or monetary donations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All donations will benefit the Kamloops Food Bank.

Both events are open to the public.
