Integrity Junk Removal & Demolition Is Proud To Support Fredericton Community Kitchens
The Fredericton Community Kitchens depend on donations and support from our incredible community to continue to feed Fredericton’s hungry each and every day! We wanted to take a moment today to introduce you to one of our newest corporate partners, Integrity Junk Removal & Demolition, co-founded by Ryan Grice and Lewis Vandervalk!
As a corporate partner, the Integrity Team donates funds to help us prepare, serve, and deliver on average 14,000 meals each month. As a junk removal and demolition company, they have the equipment, team, and resources available to help deliver meals to our area schools and deliver donated food items from locations that accept community donations in the area to our kitchens for meal preparation.
