CALGARY DELIVERS THE GOODS !



2012 Wrap Up Calgary

You did it!!! Your generosity enabled 18 Wheels of Christmas to deliver 26 skids of food for a total of 24,250 pounds to the Calgary Food Bank on December 18th. The centre of attention was a Christmas tree made entirely of the baby food purchased with cash donations collected throughout this year’s campaign. We also had an additional 1 ½ skids of baby food donated by Heinz Canada and Save-On-Foods. The Rotary Youth built a Christmas tree out of these jars and had it on display at Fifth Avenue Place in support of the Food Bank’s annual food drive. In support of this year’s campaign we sent 2 cheques totaling $3,550.00 to the Calgary Food Bank.

18 Wheels of Christmas was again invited to Lake Bonavista Promenade, Douglas Square Mall and for the second year to Fluor Canada Jeans Day Event for Food.  Along with our loyal supporters such as Stan Poulsen Trucking, Bess Tank Lines,  Rosenau Transport, Boghean & Company,  Style-Craft Printing, Midwest Surveys, Vitran,  TST Overland, Consolidated Fast Frate, Desa Glass, Univar Canada, Gibson Energy we also found this campaign to have a few new ones. We would like to thank Westfreight Systems, J&R Hall, Hill Bros., Mika Trucking and The Filling Station for their participation to this year’s campaign. Without your donations and contributions we would not have met our target of filling the trailer. Thank you!!!!!!!

This is 18 Wheels of Christmas 10th year in operation and we are still amazed with the generosity of the companies and individuals we contact each and every year for donations. It is this dedication of support which has allowed 18 Wheels of Christmas to continue and to grow. 18 Wheels of Christmas is now in Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton,
Lloydminster, Sparwood BC and as far north as Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, BC.

18 Wheels of Christmas consists of a strong team of volunteers, drivers, dispatchers and warehouse staff, mechanics and graphic department who give up their evenings and weekends to help in making each campaign a success. 18 Wheels could not do without you. Thank you!!!!
