“From September to the new year it’s a bit crazy around here,” said Ashlee Aitken, Kawartha Food Share general manager. “But especially Thanksgiving weekend, it’s a big time for donations. We have lots of families that we’re supporting and trying to get as much food out to them that we can before the weekend comes.”
During the holidays, Kawartha Food Share tries to distribute turkeys and fresh produce so families can enjoy a holiday meal.
“People tend to associate giving with holidays,” she said “Thanksgiving and Christmas we tend to see lots more donations come in than during the summer months.”
A list of the most needed items has been released for anyone able to donate:
Canned vegetables
Pork and beans
Mac and cheese
Individually wrapped snacks
Soup
Pasta Sauce
Boxed Stuffing
