It’s been a good year for a local businessman who fundraises for the Peachland Food Bank.
For seven years, Realtor Roger Cyr has held a paper shredding event and each year for the past six, he’s sponsored shuttle buses at the annual World of Wheels Show and Shine.
On Monday, Cyr dropped off more than $2,000 in cash and donated food from this year’s events to Judy Bedford, head of the food bank.
The tally included more than $1,600 in cash and about 40 bags of non-perishable food items.
Cyr pays for the World of Wheels buses and all costs associated with the paper shredding event, only asking for donations to the food bank in return.
