Pat Wand runs the bottle drive, 52 weeks a year, every Saturday at the Summerland IGA and the Penticton IGA from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Funds raised go to charity. All of the funds raised go towards the Penticton SPCA, Summerland Critteraid, Summerland Food Bank and Penticton Regional Hospital, for the new Patient Care Tower.
Over the past six years Wand has donated more than $33,000 for the maternity, nursery and pediatric departments at the Penticton Regional Hospital. As well as donating funds Wand purchases stuffed toys for children coming to the Penticton Regional Hospital and the Summerland Health Centre for surgery.
