Attack Hunger campaign exceeds expectations

The Attack Hunger Campaign exceeded its goals with $11,000 in cash donations and over 1,200 pounds in food donations.

Donations from the Attack Hunger Campaign will help the Salvation Army Food Bank in Owen Sound support over 600 families through the holiday season.

“This year’s results have far exceeded anything we thought when we started planning the 2020 event” said Attack Manager of Marketing and Communications Greg Hoddinott. “It is a true testament to the type of community we live in. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of businesses and the people of Owen Sound and surrounding communities.”

Winners of the prize draw included with the campaign were announced on Monday via social media include Dan Mock, Ed Demme, Janice McDonald, Patricia Haswell and Brenda Westlake.

Donations are still being excepted at the Salvation Army and it can be contacted at www.salvationarmyowensound.ca or 519-376-5699.
