The Comox Valley Pickleball Association (CVPA) gave a jump start to the 2023 Thanksgiving Food Drive with participation from Cumberland, Courtenay, and Comox pickleball players.

Over 100 players gathered at the Comox Rotary Highland Courts bringing bags of non-perishable items and monetary donations for this very worthy cause. Executive Director of the Comox Valley Food Bank, Dave Reynolds, was on hand to collect all the donations, thanking everyone for their generosity and expressing his warm appreciation on behalf of the Comox Valley Food Bank for this overwhelming show of support.

The CVPA would like to thank our member, Darlene Nelson, for spearheading this endeavour. Darlene did a great job of getting the message out and coordinating with the Food Bank. CVPA members stepped up as we continue to give back to the community in so many ways. THANK YOU!
