An AndyVent Calendar Thank-You!

Posted on by admin

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.

WELCOME TO MY ANDYVENT CALENDAR

Posted on by admin

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.

Many thanks to the folks at Eastlink for making this happen and for making this true fan-boys dream come true.

AndyVent 4: Recap!

Posted on by admin

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
