Annual City Wide Food Drive

June 1, 2012toJune 10, 2012

The annual Guelph Community Food Drive kicks off June 1-10, aiming to help smaller community food pantries stock their shelves before the summer.

We will be circulating flyers to as many neighbourhoods as possible during the first week of June with drop off and/or pick up details.

 Those neighbourhoods that do not receive flyers may drop off their donations to any of the organizations listed below.

 The summer is a time of high need when children are off school, but it’s also a time when donations to local food pantries start to drop off. The goal of the Guelph Community Food Drive is to keep the shelves stocked to help as many families as possible during the difficult summer months.

 Volunteers interested in helping deliver pamphlets and/or collect food are also welcome. Sports teams, clubs, individuals, and families may contact any of the organizations listed here.
