Thank you Mahone Bay!

THANK YOU to everyone who dropped off donations to the Mahone Bay and Area Food Bank. This year we had a donation box at Town Hall and we were pleased to be able to provide an additional location for people who had donations to the food bank. As we always are, we were amazed by the generosity of the people of Mahone Bay.

Thank you for the monetary and food donations - it is a pleasure to have such wonderful neighbours.
