The Spirit of Giving
What a year it’s been! We had all hoped for a “return to normal” in 2021, but instead we were still figuring out a “new normal”. But looking back, we have accomplished amazing things in this past year.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, we all had to be flexible, understanding, and open to change. We perfected the art of online meetings. We managed to stay connected to each other in creative and fundamental ways. We didn’t give up and we managed, for the most part, to stay positive and take good care of ourselves and others in ways we never imagined.
We forged new paths and adjusted our lives/businesses to face the challenges and transitions that 2021 brought us. And we did a great job!
One thing that stayed the same, however, was our collective desire to help our most vulnerable citizens. It has been a high stress time for everyone, and food insecurity has increased during the pandemic. Many families and individuals who never anticipated using the food bank were faced with the harsh reality of empty cupboards.
Once again, in the spirit of giving, Brunette Machinery along with Murray Latta Progressive Machine, pitched in to help provide food for hungry families in our community. From November 15 to December 23, 2021, we filled eight boxes with non-perishable food items to be donated to the Surrey Food Bank.
Kudos to everyone at Brunette Machinery, and Murray Latta Progressive Machines for helping to make the holidays a bit brighter for those at risk in our community.
