What better way to get into the spirit of the season than by giving a helping hand to those in need? When the Salvation Army reached out to Scotiabank for their assistance with the packaging of groceries for the less fortunate, a number of staff members volunteered to give of their time.

For approximately three hours on the morning of Saturday, December 9, approximately 25 Scotia volunteers came together to help. They immediately got busy, working in assembly-line fashion to pack more than 1,000 parcels with everyday staples such as sausage, cornmeal, rice, flour, mackerel and red peas.
