Community: A night at Creekbread!

It's inspiring and heartwarming to spend a night like we did on Tuesday the 20th of March at Creekbread, local pizza place and avid supporters of the Whistler community.

The Re-Use-It Centre was approached by Pamy from Creekbread who wanted to hold a benefit night to show their support for us. A show of support like this is more than just a one-off, and stretches a lot further than you would imagine. Creekbread has a wonderful weekly benefit night running; each Tuesday a non-profit is supported with a portion of sales ($3.50 from each large pizza, $1.75 from each small pizza) going to the cause.

Beyond that, Pamy and Brittany went out into the community to ask local businesses to donate prizes to raffle off during the night. They collected us prizes from David's Tea, RimRock, Le Gros, Ruby Tuesday, Deb Hillary at the Oracle, Dups Burritos, Rolands & BBQ Bobs, Scandinave Spa and Fruv. We were able to raise just over $400, a great amount of money, selling tickets to customers.

The response from the public was amazing, and it really shows clearly how well-loved Creekbread is as a community presence in Whistler. Their staff all supported the event, playing along with our silent auction to win retro ski suits and jackets, piggy banks and ponies... The atmosphere in the restuarant is lovely: warmth from the wood-fired oven, the smell of fresh quality ingredients cooking, and the smiley happy staff working away at feeding and entertaining their customers.





Myself, Sarah and Julie were involved as representatives of WCSS Re-Use-It Centre, with Sarah chatting up the customers for raffle tickets and Julie looking after the silent auction table. We had such a great night (and enjoyed a tasty pizza ourselves) being uplifted by the atmosphere and good feelings of the night.



Friends and other staff of Whistler Community Services Society came by to support and munch pizzas. We're grateful for each and every one of you that took time from busy lives to show us that you care.

A great big thank you and loads of warm fuzzy feelings to Creekbread: Tammy, Pamy, Brittany, the host and the servers, the bar staff and all those hands in the kitchen pumping out delicious pizzas. We loved being part of that night with you all and we'll definitely see you soon for another tasty meal!

With love,

 Helen & The WCSS Re-Use-It Centre staff.
