The campaign is meant to restock the food banks across the county by partnering with local grocery stores.
Peterborough-Kawartha MPP Dave Smith will take part in the food drive and helped the “Winter is Coming Food Drive” in November last year. The campaign raised almost $40,000 worth of cash and food donations.
“Every opportunity to support our townships is an opportunity that can’t be passed up,” said Smith. “COVID-19 has placed tremendous stress on the support system in our rural communities; these food banks support many families and it is critical these supports remain strong.”
He noted that grocery stores in Peterborough, Havelock, Bridgenorth Buckhorn and Lakefield are participating in the drive.
