Food Bank

The Salmon Arm and area food bank needs help from our community! Eagle Homes and the staff have done or pledged to do the following things for the food bank and we wish to challenge you to help out in a similar fashion!

1) Eagle Homes has donated $1,500 dollars to the Salmon Arm food bank and $1,000 to the Revelstoke food bank!
2) For every home that Eagle Homes sells we will donate $500 to the local food bank. If the home is sold in Revelstoke then the $500 will be donated to the Revelstoke food bank or the food bank servicing that area!
3) During our staff Christmas party a 50/50 draw was held with the proceeds going to the Salmon Arm food bank. The amount raised was $125!
4) Also during our staff Christmas party, all staff were encourage to bring non-perishable food items and we were able to drop off several boxes full of food items to Dave at the S/A food bank!
5) Our staff has gone through their closets looking for warm jackets, toques, scarves, mittens and gloves to donate as well.
6) The food bank is putting Christmas food hampers together on December 16th. Staff members are looking at scheduling to see if we can each work an hour or two (maybe more) depending on our work load that day!
7) The Salvation Army requires help with their Kettle Drive! Dave from the Salvation Army/Food Bank indicated that a sign can be made up to say that the kettle is manned by staff from “your business” and any help would greatly be appreciated! Our staff is looking at our own personal schedules to see who can help out at what dates and times.

Let’s all help to make our community stronger!
