Many thanks to the fine folks at FEED NOVA SCOTIA for looking after the prize draws!
And another huge thank-you to everyone who donated!
See you next year, kids!
Andy
It is officially Christmas Eve and entries are now closed.
Thank you.
Every donation, every entry, every like or share or retweet wasn’t just us as a community saying no to hunger; It was also us saying yes to: electricity, oil deliveries, new work boots, a kid getting a winter jacket, rent being paid, transportation, medication.
With supporting Feed Nova Scotia, you are supporting a safe and reliable place for Nova Scotians to access vital resources such as food. You are saving someone a choice between being warm and being able to eat.
Thank you to the many local businesses who generously donated gifts and made this all possible. We were overwhelmed this year with business owners from all over HRM and beyond.
Thank you, everyone, for your entries. Every name was read (we refreshed a LOT so we really did see them all!). Every like was noticed. Every comment was read. Every share and every retweet has been seen and appreciated.
We are completely amazed that you donated over $21,000 for AndyVent. We are in awe at your generosity (and also just how much you REALLY want Andy to eat pineapple.)
Here’s to next year!
Thank you.

God bless her! This was the very last thing Joan did as an Eastlink Volunteer. She finished up taping her final season of “Welcome To My Kitchen” and was kind enough to do this for the AndyVent Campaign.
Dear Fellow Kringles,

Let’s continue to help feed the need.
HO-HO-DONATE!
Andy
Just working on Prize Donation Drive, right meow. If you know of / own a local business in HRM and are interested and/or have questions of jumping on board the Campaign that helps raise money for Feed Nova Scotia, please contact me at TheAndyVentCalendar@gmail.com
December 1st isn’t that far away.
Andy
One final thanks to everyone for the continued support of the Calendar Campaign!
I can’t say enough good things about our local businesses who donate terrific prizes to this cause while also being extremely supportive & encouraging behind the scenes. Without them, there would be no AndyVent.
And remember to support your local shops, especially this time of year, when foot traffic is slower and budgets are a bit tighter. Even one extra visit helps.

Thanks again to AndyVent elves, Katy (for handling all things Facebook) and Arthur at Halifax ReTales (for site hosting again this year.
And I’ll keep on thanking you, the folks who have gotten behind this campaign. For sharing it, for spreading the news, for explaining to others how it works, who it helps and just how ridiculous the grand prizes are!
So another big congrats to Grand Prize Winner, Amy & Matt Spurway!
And Runner Up Prize Winner: Ian McGrath!
That’s a wrap, kids.
Until next time.
Keep on feeding the need.
Andy

Congrats to AndyVent 4 Calendar winner Matt & Amy Spurway
& Runner Up Prize winner Ian McGrath!
Many thanks to the fine folks at @feednovascotia for looking after the prize draws!
And another huge thank-you to everyone who donated!
See you next year, kids!
It’s been a few minutes since entries have closed for the AndyVent 4 Calendar draws.(Winners will be announced on the 24th at Noon)
This year has been simply unbelievable. Our $7000 goal was set with high hopes and the best of optimism. It feels like just a few hours ago we weren’t sure if we had set our sights too high!
You have absolutely astounded us with generosity that is far beyond what we could have ever expected.
$15,000 is amazing.
But not as amazing as the 22,500 meals this will generate for those in need.
Our heartfelt gratitude to the local businesses that donated their time, money and enthusiasm to AndyVent. Together, they gave us over $4500 in prizes with no strings attached except to be a part of our cause to raise money for Feed Nova Scotia.
We are extremely grateful to each and every person that donated to AndyVent. You all looked at our cause and goal and agreed and made this successful. Each like and share and touch of a keyboard and each decision to hit ‘donate now’ wasn’t missed. We saw every post, tweet, Instagram and believe us, we were refreshing the Go Fund Me so we saw all your names.
Everyone’s generosity will benefit Feed Nova Scotia. This amazing group works hard for us Nova Scotians. They work tirelessly to give those who are less fortunate, have fallen on hard times the basic necessity of food. Your donations whether business or as a donor will not be missed and on behalf of them we give the utmost appreciation.
AndyVent 4 has been an outstanding experience.
Thank you.
