Second Annual Panda Feeds Canada Golf Tournament Brings In $2600 For Kawartha Food Share

Panda Feeds Canada, a grassroots organization aiming to end nationwide hunger starting in Peterborough, hosted its second annual golf tournament at Keystone Links Golf Club and raised $2,600 for Kawartha Food Share.

To date, Panda Feeds Canada has contributed over $15,000 to local food banks and over 20,000 lbs of food.

Beginning in March of 2021, Andrew Parnell created the Instagram page ‘Panda Feeds Canada’ in hopes to gain enough followers to have the ability to present advertisements and sponsorships via the social media platform.

Mid April of this year that account got hacked, and ultimately had to be deleted which means everything that Parnell had been working towards was gone - though that didn’t stop him.

Parnell started from scratch and is slowly gaining followers back.

The golf tournament was already in motion before the original account was deleted, and went off successfully.

Because of KFS’s buying power, the $2,600 donated by Parnell will have approximately six times the buying power - meaning they can purchase $15,600 worth of food.

He hopes that next year the golf tournament generates over $5,000.

“Try and make a difference. You might put some hard hours into it but you’ll feel good about what you’ve done, even if you only make a minor change and help one person it’s worth it,” said Parnell in a part interview with PTBOCanada. “There’s too much negativity in this world right now so any kindness and compassion that we can put out into the universe is only going to help everyone in the long run.”
