Annual Emergency Services Food Drive

The Chilliwack Fire Department, along with Chilliwack Search and Rescue (SAR) and Emergency Social Services (ESS), would like to thank the citizens of Chilliwack for making the 2018 Emergency Services Food Drive a success.

 Approximately 18,000 food items were collected by firefighters, SAR, and ESS volunteers during a two hour period on Monday night.  These food items will have a significant, short term impact on the local Chilliwack Community Food Bank reserves.

 Donations will continue to be accepted for the month of December at Fire Hall #1, located at 45950 Cheam Avenue (corner of Young Road and Cheam Avenue), from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, or drop your donation off at the Salvation Army on Yale Road.
