A group at Garibaldi Secondary in Maple Ridge have been working hard to raise money and non-perishables to help those in need in the community.
The Rebels For A Cause group along with their mentor teacher, Carlos Silva, held three campaigns to support the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper Society, the Friends In Need Food Bank, and Alisa’s Wish.
For the Winter Food Hamper campaign the group raised $1,729 for the Christmas hamper society and collected 559 non-perishable food items for the food bank.
