It is a huge boost to the Dauphin Food Bank as they approach arguably their busiest time of the year.

Robin Gambler of the Food Bank participated in an 85 second shopping spree this morning at the Dauphin Co-op, with all of the items that she collected in that time being given to the organization.

Gambler had no idea what to expect when she asked to show up at the Co-op at 8 am this morning.

"I thought they maybe just wanted a picture, but then I am running around wth a cart.  This is so amazing!  The Food Bank is serving over 100 families and signles and couples every two weeks.  And this is such a huge help  to us."

Joan Chetyrbok of the Dauphin Co-op says they wanted to tend the year with something that showed their commitment to the community.

"The shopping spree is a way for us to say thank you and give back to an organization that has made such a positive impact.  Our goal is to help stock the shelves of the Food Bank, ensuring that families and individuals in need have access to the food and resources that they require." 

Chetyrbok adds the shopping spree is a wonderful way for Co-op to give back, especially heading into the holiday season when donations and support for the Food Bank are so important.
