Dennis Carter is closely connected to his Community. He cultivated daily walks with his poodle 'Muffy' into an opportunity to meet people, raise funds and start a ripple of change in Abbotsford.
Dennis and his wife Marie are passionate about building families, loving children and making their hometown a better place. At their request, Abbotsford Community Foundation created the "Dennis Carter & Muffy - Feed the Children Fund", which grants to the Abbotsford School District #34 Meals Program.
Retired from the construction industry, Dennis enjoys staying active. Starting the fund with a private donation, Dennis collects bottles on his daily walk-about to raise money. Marie takes time from her responsibilites as a Marriage Commissioner to take carloads of bottles to the depot. Fans and friends call to offer bottle donations as well.
Dennis and Marie have built meaningful relationships with a diverse group of people through their efforts. It means everything to them. This modest couple was even featured as one of BCTV's favourite stories from Mike McCardell. "Hopefully this story gets out and stirs people to do the same thing", adds Dennis.
