North Bay Food Bank

 

Planning is underway for the 11th season of Coach4Food.

The program involves donations being collected for the North Bay Food Bank in exchange for hockey practices.

With founder Tom Hedican having stepped back from the initiative, Food Bank Board Chair Katharine Strang says talks are underway with the North Bay Battalion about possibly offering the practices.

Overall, she says the campaign is a massive contributor to the food bank.

She says it stocks their shelves with about 4 or 5 months supply of food.

Strang says the top three teams will still get a practice with the Battalion and they’re planning on having a few surprises during the initiative too.
