 (North Bay, ON)- Canadore Panther Men’s Volleyball Rally for Food : Fill the hauler for a “Hauliday” Christmas Dinner at the Gathering Place! Partnering with Mike & Lori’s Nofrills. What better way to celebrate the Christmas spirit than collecting for community need Christmas dinner.

Saturday December 8th, 2018 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm Canadore Panther Men’s Volleyball team will be outside of Mike & Lori’s Nofrills collecting donations for the Gathering Place. Their goal is to fill their Canadore highlander with enough supplies to donate to the Christmas dinner that the Gathering Place is hosting for their clients. Shaun, a franchisee candidate of Nofrills, believes in this cause, “It’s important for the owners to get involved in the community especially at this time of the year. It’s all about giving back to the community so we’ve decided to match each item donated”.

The men’s volleyball team is trying to spark more community involvement for students in North Bay. “Christmas is a time for giving, and our boys want to give back” says assistant coach, Jordan Gardiner. The Gathering Place is a not-for-profit charitable organization located in the city of North Bay. The Gathering Place delivers programming to address food insecurity issues in our community. They are funded entirely by community donations and annual fundraising events.

Head coach, Mark Hopper, is passionate about getting his team involved in the North Bay community, “Creating community involvement is so important and seems to be diminishing in youth. We want to bring that back. If we can help local families enjoy a Christmas dinner, there’s nothing else we should be doing on a Saturday afternoon.”
