The club thanks all ticket purchasers for their support of this great cause. The lucky winner of $10,000 is Nicole Reynolds of the Comox Valley.

“Partnering with the leadership of the food bank, our club had a goal of raising funds to help them make their new location more accessible and serve more community members in need of their programs,” said Rotary Club of Comox Valley past president Amanda Wood. “With the funds raised with our successful ‘Making Our Move to End Hunger’ raffle, and with matching funds to be received from a Rotary International Foundation grant, we are excited about this partnership. Rotary Club of Comox Valley is pleased to support the food bank in the delivery of their important programs, which are needed now, more than ever.”
