RBC Dominion Securities won the competition held in April to see who could bring in the most amount of non-perishable items to be donated to the food bank with 155 pounds.

A $5,000 contribution to the Salvation Army community food bank was also made to purchase protein to make the most nutritionally sound food hamper possible for the approximate 750 food hampers distributed each month in Penticton.
