A festive freight makes its return to Chatham later today, helping to raise money, food, and awareness to support local food banks.
The CPKC Holiday Train will be stopping behind the Holiday Inn and Suites on Richmond Street between 2:45 and 3:15. This year’s entertainers include KT Tunstall and American Authors.
Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected approximately 5.3 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S.
Locally, donations of cash, non-perishable food, and other items will benefit Chatham’s Outreach for Hunger.
