For the third time in less than a year, Edward Milne Community School students will ask for cash donations only as they aim to take a bite out of hunger in a fundraising effort for the Sooke Food Bank.

The 10,000 Tonight campaign runs from Nov. 28 to Dec. 9, and organizers from the schoolB次元官网网址檚 leadership class hope to raise $10,000.

Donation drop-off spots are planned for the weekends and during the week at Western Foods and Village Foods Market.

Last year the fundraiser shifted to a cash-only model because of challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic, said Sophia Baca, another co-organizer of the event.

In addition to the donation locations, the leadership class hosts an online auction on its website and Facebook page.
