The Q-SHOP is delighted to once again give back to our community! With volunteer Christine Jackson, Comox Quality Foods manager Mike Trask and staff from QF, nurse-leader Nicole Sherwood (centre) accepts a cheque for $2,332.50 on behalf of Cumberland Lodge. The Q-SHOP at Quality Foods in Comox is a phone-in shopping service run by and for seniors and shut-ins in the Comox Valley. A small fee is charged for this service, half of which is then donated back to the community.
