Over the years, in lieu of birthday presents, this lovely young lady asks for food donations. This year she was worried that due to covid restrictions she would be unable to have a party and collect donations. With the help of her family, they organized a drive by celebration and collected 207.8 lbs of food! Happy 13th birthday Jessica and thank you for your contribution to our community!!

Our volunteers are receiving food donations downtown on Tuesdays, 10-11a or Wednesdays at West, 12-1:30p. Please call/email if you can't make those times. Please do not leave donations if no one is there to receive them! We are not currently accepting clothing or household items.

Thank you to the @Guelph Community Foundation for preparing these handy resources on the impact of #COVID19 on our #Guelph/Wellington community. This fact sheet explores the impacts on #foodsecurity https://www.guelphcf.ca/LinkClick.aspx

Black families are about 3.5 times as likely to go hungry as white families. Hear Paul Taylor from the non-profit, FoodShare, talk about #foodinsecurity in #Toronto-- and what needs to be done about it. https://www.cbc.ca//clip/15787699-pandemic-food-insecurity
