Spare-A-Square #2: Porch Food Drive For Kawartha Food Share Takes Place October 24th
/Following on the heels of a successful Spare-A-Square food-raiser earlier this year in March that collected 23,000 pounds of food, another vital citywide food drive to restock the dwindling shelves at Kawartha Food Share has begun.
On Saturday, October 24th by 9 a.m., anyone who is not ill or in self-isolation is being asked to leave a bag of non-perishable food items on your front porch to be picked up by volunteers. The porch food drive takes place across the city of Peterborough, and will help restock the empty shelves at Kawartha Food Share.
