Central Saanich消防站11月14日舉辦Constructing Kindness社區籌款活動，支持服務Saanich半島的Lions Food Bank。White Wolf Homes主辦的免費家庭活動在1512 Keating Cross Road舉行，設早餐、燒烤、音樂及兒童活動，參加者可捐不易腐壞的食品或善款。
主辦方稱，超過30家本地企業參與支持，活動開始前承諾捐款已超過88,000加元，高於原訂80,000元目標；這屬於預先承諾，不是當天最終收款總額。超過25家企業各承諾3,000元，其餘以不同方式支持。去年活動籌得60,252元，在今年活動前歷年累計已超過10萬元。
食物銀行失去另一項最大年度籌款來源後出現資金缺口。其執行主管稱Constructing Kindness現已成爲機構最重要的年度籌款活動。位於Sidney的食物銀行依靠少量有薪人員、志願者和社區捐贈，爲半島個人及家庭提供食品援助。
