Highland Creek
The work that happens close to home, alongside Lora: food drives that feed neighbours, and a historic village kept standing for the next generation.
Close to home
The work in Highland Creek is a two-person effort. Bill and Lora put the same care into the neighbourhood that the freight work asked for: show up, and follow through.
Filling the shelves
Food drives
Filling shelves for neighbours who need them.
Feeding people is the most direct kind of help there is. Bill serves on the executive of the Highland Creek Community Association, whose community food drive campaign is now in its sixth year. Since 2020 the campaign has raised 3,854,000 pounds of food, moved by the truckload to the Daily Bread Food Bank’s main terminal, with Fast-Links hauling alongside Italpasta and Mitek Industries.

Highland Creek Village
Keeping a piece of history standing.
Some of the community work is about the future; some is about not losing the past. The restoration of the historic village keeps a piece of Highland Creek’s history intact for the people who come next.
Why it matters
The point was never only the freight. It was being able to look after the people, and the place, you come from.
