LAKE COUNTRY — The Lake Country Food Bank is happy to be chock full of donations, but it doesn’t have the space to store them. The food bank is making due with cramped quarters, currently residing in an 800 square foot space in the back of the old Winfield school. But soon, it won’t even have that space, as the school district has the property up for sale.
The District of Lake Country has made land available for a new food bank, but more money is needed to begin construction. But there is hope some of the money could come from a online contest put on by Insurance Giant Aviva.

“The Aviva fund is essential so we have enough funds on hand that we can sign contracts,” says Jim Taylor with the Rotary Club, who nominated the food bank. “Until we can sign contracts we can’t get things working.”
The Lake Country Food Bank is now one step closer to the top $100,000 prize, making it to the semi-finals in the Aviva Community Fund contest.
To help the food bank make the finals, all you have to do is vote online at https://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf19456 starting Monday, December 1.
