Following a successful opening weekend with the annual Christmas Light Up, SilverStar is excited to announce the community raised over $5,000 for the Good Food Box - School Food Box program; whose goal is to raise $38,000 that supports feeding families in the North Okanagan for the next ten months of the school year.
The Good Food Box is a non-profit organization that supports families, seniors and individuals to have access to groceries and produce when times are tough.
The money raised at Light Up alone means SilverStar is over 50 percent of the way towards the goal of raising $10,000.
All donations raised by the community will be matched by both the SilverStar Play Forever Fund and an Anonymous Donor with the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan; tripling your contribution.
