Vernon Pickleball members serve-up major support for food bank
For the third year in a row, the Vernon Pickleball Association (VPA) held its annual food drive in support of the Vernon Salvation Army Food Bank during the month of December.
Members brought non-perishable food items and toiletries to the Okanagan Wealth Advisors (OWA) Pickleball complex when they came to play, placing the food under the twinkling lights of the 15’ high pickleball Christmas tree.
The food was weighed prior to being delivered, and an impressive 1,194 pounds were counted. Combined with the previous two years, that’s more than 3,000 lbs of food helping the Vernon community through the Salvation Army Food Bank/ House of Hope.
