FirePower + Purolator Join Forces To Support Milton Food Bank
We are thrilled to support our friends at Purolator as they Tackle Hunger for the second year! Thanks to the lovely Carolina Rey (FP Member extraordinaire!), we are joining forces to collect and donate as much non-perishable food items, all staying local in our Milton community.
How Does It Work?
STEP 1: Grab a red bag from the gym. Purolator employees will also be dropping off 6,000 bags around town starting Saturday Sept 14. Don't worry if you don't get or have a red bag. ANY BAG WILL DO!
STEP 2: Fill the bag with non-perishable items and either bring to FirePower for pick up, or if a bag was dropped at your door, you can leave it on your porch for pick up BEFORE 9am. Purolator trucks will come collect the bag. PICK UP DATE IS SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21. If you miss the pick up date, bring your filled bag to FirePower. We will get delivered for you!
STEP 3: Can't get a bag in time or prefer another way to help?? DONATE ONLINE!! Use the link below.
