Kirby's Pumpkin Give-Away Day
Posted by Kirby Cox on Thursday, November 3rd, 2011 at 5:03pm.We would like to offer a big thank you to everyone who came out to our 15th Annual Pumpkin Giveaway to support the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank. We had a really successful day; there were so many new faces out to help us, as well as many familiar families from previous Pumpkin Giveaways. We hope that you will make this event a tradition for your family’s future Halloweens. We have a lot of fun hosting this event every year!

The great people at the Hamptons Coop generously allow us to hold this event right on their doorstep and let us buy large quantities of pumpkins from them every year. Having such a good location really adds to the convenience for shoppers to pick up some extra items to donate. We gave away an amazing 600 pumpkins (or more!) this year.
This year we also collected over 7 bins of non-perishable food and raised $346.33 for the food bank. As you may know, for every $1 donated, the food bank can distribute $4 worth of food to people in need.
If you couldn’t make it out to our event but are interested in donating to the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank, see their website to find out where you can drop off some food items to help them stock up for the winter.

Here are some happy customers with a beautiful pumpkin!

Look at the great selection of pumpkins that we had to offer!
