For the eleventh year, 22 Wing teamed up with My Team Cares, formally known as the Coach4Food Program, to collect food for the North Bay Food Bank.

"Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to provide contactless drop-offs, donors were asked to place non-perishable food items in trunks, pull up and release the trunk so that volunteers can remove the bags.

Also, a table was available to deposit donated food items. To ensure physical distancing, money was collected using cans attached to poles.

All members of 22 Wing adhered to public health measures.
