Bradly Funk, a custodian at Westridge Elementary, is getting ready for the school’s annual Jingle Bell Walk, where students collect food bank donations from homes in the school’s catchment area.

Students at Westridge Elementary are spending Wednesday dropping off flyers on local doorsteps in hopes of feeding the less fortunate.

It’s all part of the annual Jingle Bell Walk, where students leave flyers at local homes, requesting donations for the food bank, and on Friday, Dec. 6 they return to pick up the items.

Anyone who donates to the cause will be offered an invitation to attend the school’s appreciation tea and winter concert. People who don’t live in Westridge’s catchment area can still drop off donations at the school at 510 Duncan Ave. on Dec. 6 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. For more information, call Westridge at 604-664-8878.
