The numbers are in and it’s official. This year was a record-breaker. On the evening of October 3, more than 100 volunteers collected 15,000 pounds of food and more than $4,200 in cheques from thousands of Bracebridge residents. That’s up from 14,500 pounds of food and $2,500 in donations last year.
