For the third year in a row, the BCHL Five Hole for Food drive done in conjunction with the Hands of Hope food drive here in Merritt has collected more food than ever!
The game night on November 25th, combined with the drive, saw a total of 6,200 pounds of non-perishable food items and new toys all to benefit the Nicola Valley Food Bank.
Last year, the drives collected 5,088 pounds, and the year before 4,470 pounds respectively.
The Centennials are proud of their involvement in this very worthy cause as they continue to help serve the community this holiday season.
