The St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank is going through tough times right now as shelves are bare and visitor numbers at an all time high.
On Tuesday, May 21st Caps Off Brewing Co. will be doing their part to make sure no one in our community goes hungry by hosting the “Fill the Trailer, Fill the Shelves Food Drive.”
Jasmyne, Fran and Rick will be going around St. Thomas with the Caps Off Trailer that day, in hopes to fill it up for our local food bank.
