'Porch Pirates For Good' Food Drive Plundering Peterborough For Kawartha Food Share
/Kawartha Food Share (KFS) is plundering Peterborough again as they are doing their “Porch Pirates For Good” food drive to restock their empty shelves this Saturday.
Since the inception of the pandemic, our porch food drives have brought in over 120,000 pounds of food and over $12,000 in monetary donations. Each month, KFS serves more than 4,500 children under the age of 18. Photo by David Tuan Bui.
Households are asked to leave a bag of non-perishable food items on their front porch for the Porch Pirates to collect starting at 9 a.m.
The number of clients using food banks has reached an all-time high throughout the nation, according to KFS. They continue to state that the rising cost of food and supply chain shortages have affected their clients, donors and purchasing power.
The following is a list of items requested for donation from KFS:
Peanut Butter
Canned tuna
Canned fruit
Individually wrapped school snacks – very helpful
Pasta and pasta sauce
Alpha-getti, Kraft Dinner and Chef Boyardee
Breakfast cereal
Gluten-free items – like pasta, cookies, oats etc.
Canned vegetables
Canned soup/stew
Feminine hygiene products
Diapers
Toiletries
Monetary Donations (can be made online or during item collection)
