Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts participated in the fourth annual Hike for Hunger Saturday ending up at Sacred Heart Catholic Church to donate food to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for its food bank.

The Pathfinders departed from Walmart. At the Real Canadian Wholesale Food Club they were joined by the Guides and Scouts. From there the hikers went to Save-On-Foods where the Cubs and Brownies were waiting and then Beavers joined them at Safeway. St. Vincent de Paul Society president Darla Robson gave them a short history of St. Vincent de Paul and then accepted all of their donations of food.

One of the Guiders said when the group arrived at Save-On Foods, and some of the members were shopping there for donations, the store matched the amount spent and donated as well.
