Surrey and White Rock’s business communities gave generously at the Surrey Board of Trade and South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce’s annual Seasonal Sizzle Business Reception on December 5th. The event raised $10,821 and 702 lbs of food for the Surrey Food Bank, in partnership with The Full Cupboard. Over 500 business people attended this annual Christmas event, sponsored by Envision Financial Financial and ThoughtsWin Systems, donating in lieu of admission fees.

“We are deeply grateful to the businesses that joined us for this annual Christmas celebration and showed incredible generosity by supporting the Surrey Food Bank. Their contributions will help provide essential food support to families throughout Surrey, especially as inflation and the high cost of living continues to place significant strain on households. This event is a powerful reminder of the vital role businesses play in giving back and strengthening our community,” said Indra Bhan, Interim CEO, Surrey Board of Trade and Acting ED, South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce.
