An overwhelming amount of donations poured in while the Lake Country Fire Department went door-to-door last week to collect cash and non-perishable food donations.
Collecting in Carr’s Landing on Dec. 4 and in Oyama, Okanagan Centre, and Winfield on Dec. 6, the fire department raised $10,065.
They also collected 7,265 pounds of non-perishable foods - the equivalent of 12 commercial apple bins full of donations.
Although firefighters were not able to visit every house in the community many people dropped off donations at Station 71 on Dec. 7.
