NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF INNISFIL
*************************
INNISFIL – The Town of Innisfil is proud to announce that this year’s 'Scrooge the Ticket' campaign, in support of the Innisfil Food Bank, has raised $1335 in cash donations and $531 in toys and non-perishable food donations, for a total of $1866.

Anyone in Innisfil who received a parking fine between Nov. 20 and Dec. 9 had the option of donating instead. Since it began four years ago, the “Scrooge the Ticket” campaign has raised approximately $9,000 for the Innisfil Food Bank, a program operated as an outreach of the Innisfil Community Church.

Innisfil Mayor Lynn Dollin was on hand at the Innisfil Community Church to help deliver the donations and expressed her gratitude to both the Bylaw officers for their hard work, and the residents for supporting the program.

“It’s great that people see this as an opportunity to donate to the Food Bank,” she said. “Thank you so much for your efforts.”
