STAR STRUCK: Morgan van Linge (in blue vest) and Rachel Last (in grey jacket) of Langley were thrilled to meet Graham Wardle, star of the CBC television show Heartland. Wardle was one of several celebrities who appeared at the Langley 64 Avenue Save-On-Food on Saturday to swap autographs for donations of non-perishable food items, unwrapped toys or cash. UFC fighter Jason Day, actor Aleks Paunovic, Vancouver Canucks alumni Dave Babych and John Craighead along with Mark Lofthouse of the Washington Capitals also participated. In addition to collecting donations, the event was held to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse for “Sophie’s Place.”

More than $1,400 in cash and thousands of dollars in toys and food were donated during the Celebrity Toy Drive at Save-One Foods on Saturday, Nov. 28. Save-On Foods also donated turkeys to families involved with Sophie's Place.
