David Madiuk, store manager for Save on Food's Westside Village, gave the Military Family Resource Centre a phone call in January. He wanted to sponsor one of our events. We had the Father Daughter Sweetheart Dance coming up in February and they jumped on board not just providing the food but some volunteers as well for the event.
