MILFORD:<\/strong> The Milford and area community showed once again, like most in East Hants, they have big hearts for those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was evident as the Shubenacadie & District Volunteer fire department and their neighbours the Milford Volunteer Fire department teamed up for a great cause last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both departments held a food bank drive in support of Shumilacke Food Bank as Spring hit the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food drive was held at the Milford Foodland and many customers to the Foodland stopped by and dropped off some canned, non-perishable items for the food drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters said the Milford Country Store and CobbCo Sign Design also supported the food drive and allowed it to happen by the Foodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donations from the community came to 150kg (330lbs) of food and $211.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubenacadie Fire Department also kindly donated $1,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
