WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — It’s Christmas in July in Williams Lake. That’s how the city’s fire department is describing its July 30 Food Bank drive.

Fire department personnel will go door to door from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., to collect non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army.

The summer can be a difficult time for food banks.

“The Salvation Army Food Bank shelves are generally running low this time of year,” says Fire Chief Erick Peterson.
