Wow! Denham Ford (B.C.) Ltd.'s Hometown 4 Hunger - The 2026 Edition! was another amazing event, raising over $6,500 in support of the Cranbrook Salvation Army’s local food programs. 🎉🎉

💗 Thanks to incredible support from the community, throughout our 11 years of holding this event, we’ve raised a total of over $70,000 to tackle hunger in our community and show our care for our friends and neighbours who are in need. 💗

Every dollar raised is permanently invested in the StellerVista Credit Union Endowment Fund, which is stewarded by CFKR, giving The Salvation Army - Cranbrook a grant, every year, forever, to keep our local food programs running strong.

Each and every month, the Cranbrook Salvation Army provides approximately 2555 school lunches to local students, 1250 on-site community meals, and 405 meals delivered to people who are unable to leave their homes, for a total of over 4,200 meals!

At Hometown 4 Hunger - The 2026 Edition!, Sven from Visit Cranbrook and Rotary Club of Cranbrook BC set a new dunk tank record for the most dunks, including this one from his JCI Kootenay colleague, Chance Litke - Guidance Planning Strategies, who shows that he has top-notch throwing skills in additional to his financial planning expertise!
