The Westminster Savings Foundation has donated $20,000 to Quest food exchange, which will be used to fund the addition of a refrigerated truck to Quest's current transportation fleet.

"Westminster Savings is committed to supporting the communities we share with our neighbours, and we are exceptionally pleased to provide this donation to Quest", says Barry Forbes, President and CEO, Westminster Savings. "A new refrigerated truck will increase the volume and selection of food that Quest can rescue and redistribute to those in need."

Quest's Operations Manager, Ricky Tam, is quick to point out, "Now that we have the reefer truck, Quest is not worried about rushing cooler and frozen pick ups back to the warehouse so that they don't go bad."

Many thanks to to Peter Brasso and his team at Richmond Honda, who have provided us with a the 2006 GMC truck. With amazing partners in the community like Richmond Honda and Westminster Savings, Quest aims to continue bringing in more fresh produce.

Heather, a client and volunteer, is happy to see Quest expanding to collect more times such as vegetables and fresh milk. "It can get competitive sometimes if you want to make sure you are getting both milk and yogurt on the same trip," she ways. "I usually come early in the morning, but I haven't noticed any shortages of dairy lately."
