The 23rd annual Loonies on the Street fundraiser was back to collecting donations in downtown Peterborough raising over $160,000 for Kawartha Food Share on Friday morning.
The fundraiser has raised over two million dollars to date, allowing them to purchase food items for over 8,500 community members each month.
While the loyal ‘bucket brigade’ were out collecting loose change up and down George St. outside of Peterborough Square, the Lions Club was collecting on the Hunter Street Bridge.
You’ve done it again, Peterborough! $160,000 & counting was raised at our annual #Loonies broadcast this morning!👏
