Simren Panghli
Simren Panghli began volunteering at the Nicola Valley and District Food Bank in 2012. After seeing the shortage of volunteers and the need for donations, Simren founded Helping Hands in July 2016. The food bank has slow months, where there is a lack of donations and a shortage of food, so Helping Hands collects donations to help year-round. After establishing connections throughout the community, Helping Hands has collected over 500lbs of food this year alone. In 2017, Simren was the recipient of the Scotiabank Youth Award. This came along with a $2500 donation to a charity of her choice: her local food bank. Outside of Helping Hands, Simren and her brother spearheaded a breakfast program for students who are unable to have a meal at home before coming to school. Simren has also been involved with theSmart Step Youth Association since 2014 as well as a member of her school’s We Care Club and Link Crew. Simren will begin studies at Thompson Rivers University in the fall.
