****UPCOMING EVENTS****

Well it is that time of year again when we prepare for the Christmas Hamper Day, the Christmas Hamper Day will be on Tuesday -December 17, 2024. The distribution will start at 10:00 am. We were able to help over 200 needy families last year and we are planning on the same this year.

Every year the community of 100 Mile House does an amazing job in supporting those that require the assistance of the 100 Mile House Food Bank throughout the year and especially during the Christmas season.

The first annual event in support of the Christmas Hamper Day is the annual Turkey Day on Monday December 2, 2024 at 100 Mile House’s own 840AM with the awesome Chris Adams and crew. A $25 tax deductible donation will get you a turkey in your name that will be (in spirit only.. no actual turkeys are harmed during the broadcast) donated to the 100 Mile House Food Bank,, the goal is 400 turkeys.

A first this year is the Charity Hockey Game – Guns vs Hoses; The game is Saturday – December 14, 2024, puck drops at 7:00pm – at the home of the Wranglers. Come and see a great bunch of hockey players entertain you for charity… Admission to the game is a cash donation or a non-perishable food donation to the 100 Mile House Food Bank. There will be lots of things to see and do with all proceeds graciously going to the 100 Mile House Food Bank.
