Update for the London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive
The London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive is underway and we appreciate your help to encourage Londoners to show their hearts and help to fill the shelves of the London Food Bank.
Londoners have been incredibly generous over the last 17 years of the London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive donating 1,133,210 pounds of non-perishable items. We are halfway through this year’s Food Drive and we need Londoners to show their hearts to help us reach our goal of 65,000 pounds of donations.
The London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive makes donating easy! If you missed donating at the curb you can donate at your neighbourhood grocery store or Tim Hortons.
Grabbing a coffee at Timmy’s? Please consider bringing non-perishable food items with you and dropping them off in the collection boxes at any of London’s 45 Tim Horton locations.
Some items to consider donating:
- Canned food
- Rice
- Cereal
- Powdered milk
- Baby food
- Pastas
- Toiletries
Tomorrow we’ll be collecting curbside in Zone D – if you live in the neighbourhoods of Argyle Park, Fairmount, Huron Heights, Trafalgar Heights and part of Lambeth, please place non-perishable food donations in a bag beside your Blue Box.
Say no to hunger!
