Meet Gloria. This native Torontonian moved to Victoria following a 26-year Customer Service career with Air Canada. Gloria started at Thrifty Foods’ first Sendial store, Fairfield, 26 years ago and is now a Volunteer Captain there. She remembers helping the Program’s Founder, Prue Cunningham, recruit volunteers in Tsawwassen, the first Lower Mainland Store to offer Sendial.

Gloria values the social interaction and gratification in helping others which comes from volunteering and believes that one takes as much as one gives to it. She thinks that Sendial is a “well needed service” and particularly values her great volunteer crew and being able to assist the Program’s customers with best meeting their grocery needs and in the most cost-efficient way for them.
