Fundraiser with Jeremy Thompson to Benefit MHDFB
With less than a month to go before some Hatters could be faced with an empty Thanksgiving plate, Medicine Hat alderman and candidate for re-election Jeremy Thompson is hosting a fundraising barbecue on Saturday to benefit the Medicine Hat and District Food Bank.
All Hatters are invited to attend the come-and-go barbecue on Saturday from 12-3 PM in the Medicine Hat Lodge parking area. Cost for a hamburger or hot dog and a drink is $4.00, with proceeds donated to the food bank. Gluten free hamburgers will also be available.
“We are approaching an important time of year for organizations like the food bank,” Thompson said. “I hope that community members will take time to come out to our event on Saturday, lending the food bank some assistance along the way.”
Local musician Corbie Dorner will entertain the crowd during the event, which will also serve as the official kick-off to Thompson’s campaign for re-election.
“An event like a campaign kick-off is a lot of fun on its own,” Thompson said. “But our family is doubly excited to add in a charitable component and help give back to the community.”
