Coach4Food

 

A major milestone for Tom Hedican‘s Coach4Food.

That’s how much food has been donated during the 10 years that Hedican has run the program.

This is his last year with Coach4Food, which will continue next year through the North Bay Battalion.

Hedican says it’s a unique fundraiser that the kids and coaches all enjoy getting involved with.

This year’s total is just under 55,000 pounds of food with some still waiting to be counted.

A final total is expected on Wednesday.

Nearly 13,000 pounds was donated yesterday (Monday) by the Atom Major AA Trappers.

Coach4Food involves hockey practices being given in exchange for food donations.

Overall, Hedican says most of the 1-million pounds of food was raised in North Bay with other OHL cities contributing to the total.
