Firefighters give kids a great start to their day

The Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society (CFCS) runs many community-based programs. One of its programs is the Nutritional Snack Program which provides nutritional snacks to kids at the Rochester Elementary school in Coquitlam. The program provides breakfast and snacks for 50-60 kids three times per week. The CFCS hopes to expand its program to additional schools in the coming year and has been raising funds through a number of initiatives. Most recently, the CFCS held their annual Vintage Vegas Bash held at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam. Click on the link to watch a short video.

When our Maple Leaf Self Storage team members heard about the Nutritional Snack Program they loved the idea and wanted to help. Over the course of a month, they raised $300 for the program. Recently, the firefighters came by the store to accept the donation. The Lougheed team was thrilled with the visit!

We would like to thank the Coquitlam Firefighters for everything they do to keep the community safe! If you’d like to help with the Nutritional Snack Program click here to make a donation!
