Michael Fatt is once again collecting bottles and cans to raise money for Yellowknifers in need.

The bottle drive is part of a fundraiser through non-profit group (CIB) and has been ongoing since March 23.

The , a group dedicated to promoting community, plan to put the proceeds towards an upcoming Feed the People event where members will serve soups and stews to the street involved population in Yellowknife.

A date for Feed the People has yet to be set.

Fatt said he and the bottle drive volunteers would continue to collect donations in upcoming weeks and months until they acquire a stockpile to finance the event, purchase socks and sweatshirts to donate and hopefully have some left over to put towards tents and teepees for future on-the-land programming.

Last year, Fatt raised over $6,000 from bottle donations to put on the CIB Christmas toy drive.

After weeks of collections, the group filled Tom Eagle Hall in the Tree of Peace Friendship Centre for residents to select gifts for their families.

Compared to the Christmas drive, Fatt said this round of bottle collections has been slower SA国际影视传媒� though, he admits he was overwhelmed after the winter callout and is happy to SA国际影视传媒減ick away at it slowly.SA国际影视传媒�

Fatt took to Facebook last month to inform Yellowknfiers he would be coming around again for bottles and cans.

In addition to revenues for CIB events Fatt is looking to collect, he said the drive is about mentorship.
