Tammy Gray and Mark Thompson (VP Sales) from Sysco presented a cheque to our Club in the amount of $6,000 to support our Starfish Program.

At Sysco BC, we are steadfast in our commitment to embody our Purpose daily - "Connecting the World to Share Food and Care for one another". As an integral part of our annual Nourishing Neighbours charitable campaign, we allocate funds to various organizations that align with and actively live our Purpose. 

This year, Sysco BC has selected Starfish Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows to receive a donation of $6,000.

Sysco says on its website:
Sysco has long been a part of the communities in which we work and has singularly led as the top food wholesaler in Vancouver. We started as Konings Wholesale back in 1970, with a small warehouse on Thunderbird in Burnaby, a limited number of products, and only one delivery truck. Through exemplary customer service and consistent growth, Konings was acquired by the Sysco Corporation in 1988 and became the first Sysco operating company in Canada. A new 180,000 sq ft distribution facility was built in 1992, strategically located in the city of Port Coquitlam, and expanded to 320,000 sq ft just before the 2010 Olympic Games. Our team has grown to over 350 associates.
