Central Saanich消防站11月14日举办Constructing Kindness社区筹款活动，支持服务Saanich半岛的Lions Food Bank。White Wolf Homes主办的免费家庭活动在1512 Keating Cross Road举行，设早餐、烧烤、音乐及儿童活动，参加者可捐不易腐坏的食品或善款。
主办方称，超过30家本地企业参与支持，活动开始前承诺捐款已超过88,000加元，高于原订80,000元目标；这属于预先承诺，不是当天最终收款总额。超过25家企业各承诺3,000元，其余以不同方式支持。去年活动筹得60,252元，在今年活动前历年累计已超过10万元。
食物银行失去另一项最大年度筹款来源后出现资金缺口。其执行主管称Constructing Kindness现已成为机构最重要的年度筹款活动。位于Sidney的食物银行依靠少量有薪人员、志愿者和社区捐赠，为半岛个人及家庭提供食品援助。
