The RCL Automotive Build a Mountain of Food Campaign kicked off in Carleton Place and Almonte this week and we’re so very pleased to report that a staggering 13,939 lbs of food and $4962.60 in cash was collected.
Even with food prices and inflation being high, the community responded to help those who need it most.
The Hunger Stop’s Tammy Parent told Build a Mountain’s Jim Wright, it will make a huge difference.

More is expected to trickle in, in the coming days too.
Store Manager Graham Nesbitt of Mitchell’s Independent in Carleton Place told Lake 88 just how much this will mean for the Food Bank, and he has a message that applies as the campaign moves to other communities.
