2026 Give & Go Drive Thru Fundraiser in Nanaimo

2026 Give & Go Drive Thru Fundraiser in Nanaimo

In our community, the need for support during the holiday season remains vital.

The Give & Go Drive Thru team invites you, your family and your workplace to join us in supporting Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank and The Salvation Army. Since 2002, this annual tradition has brought local businesses and neighbours together to make an immediate, direct impact.

Event Details

  • When: Friday, December 4, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

  • Where: Sunshine Mountain Ford Lincoln, 3851 Shenton Road

  • How It Works: Drive right through our lot! Friendly volunteers will be on hand to safely unload your donations directly from your vehicle.

  • Broadcast: Tune in live during the CHEK Drive Thru coverage!

What to Bring

Every contribution counts!

  • Non-Perishable Food: Local families benefit most from canned proteins (tuna, salmon, chicken, beans), pasta and sauce, canned fruits and vegetables, and breakfast cereals.

  • New, Unwrapped Toys: Gifts for children and youth of all ages to help bring holiday cheer across our region.
  • Financial: Cash, card/tap, or cheques payable directly to the charity of your choice.

    Did you know? Every $1 donated allows Loaves & Fishes to acquire $5 worth of food to distribute through their purchasing power!

Can’t Make It on December 4th? Early Drop-Offs Welcome!

Collection boxes are already set up inside the dealership showroom at 3851 Shenton Road. Feel free to drop off your items early during regular business hours or when you bring your vehicle in for service!

“Each year, Give & Go reminds me what makes our community truly special [snip] we come together with kindness and generosity, even if just for a few meaningful hours. This year marks our second as Sunshine Mountain Ford Lincoln and our 11th year hosting, and it means so much to see our legacy of giving continue to grow. My deepest thanks to everyone who has played a part. Together, we’re supporting a brighter community, one act of kindness at a time.”

— Ann Marie Clark, Owner, Sunshine Mountain Ford Lincoln
