"I lost all the meat I had bought," said the 18-year-old St. Catharines woman, who is on a fixed income. "It was all lost."
Fortunately, Sander was able to join nearly 100 other people to accept some Christmas cheer from the owner of MacFrugals Furniture store on St. Paul Street Saturday morning.
The company has been giving away holiday turkeys for a decade, but this year owner Gary Clemmensen said they wanted to do more.
"So this year we are giving away a ham, a 10-pound bag of potatoes, a can of beans and a can of corn," he said. "We just feel like we have a responsibility to give back to the community."
Three Macfrugals stores-- in St. Catharines, Welland and Hamilton -- gave away food to the less fortunate on Saturday.
