The staff of W.C. Burgess Insurance and other volunteers served soup and bread to the Brockville community, and guests could choose from beautiful pottery bowls made by local artisans.
LOAVES & FISHES is a community support not-for-profit, charitable organization; founded on the belief that in the sharing of bread, a community is built. All proceeds went to the low-cost restaurant so they could continue serving the community.

Bipper Blanket Donation to the Pier Christian Church
W.C. Burgess Insurance Services Ltd. donated their Bipper Blankets to a local church (The Pier Christian Church of Brockville).
