HAL donates to Vancouver Food Bank

[xlxo]

I'm going to guess the cancelled Alaska cruise food is going to a good cause...

announced that cruise line Holland America had donated seven shipping containers measuring more than 15 metres full of surf and turf and other luxury food items.

"It's well in excess of $200,000 in value,"

Thank-you HAL

Our Food Bank here in Vancouver is doing a fantastic job, providing a great assortment of fresh meats, fruit and vegetables and bakery items, as well as packaged food.  HAL has provided a wonderful addition and I am really pleased :)

Thanks HAL from a Vancouverite...there are a lot of families in need here.

 

Post vaccine we will be on the first HAL Alaska cruise we can.  Our very first cruise was on a HAL cruise to Alaska in 1989 and we have enjoyed every cruise we have taken with them.

What happened to the 'frikandellen'?

Food banks everywhere are being stretched to the maximum in trying to serve so many who have never needed such assistance.  God bless HAL for this gift at a time when it truly is needed!

Good for HAL to do this!  $200K of food should go a long way!
