Residents can leave a bag of non-perishable food items on their front porch. Starting at 9 a.m., volunteers dressing in pirate attire will drive around the city, collect the items and deliver them to the KFS warehouse.
Money can also be donated on KFS’s website. Every dollar donated allows Kawartha Food Share to leverage more than four dollars of food purchasing power.
The food drive aids families who are unable to afford groceries due to employment-related reasons and the high cost of housing, health and food.
KFS is looking to receive the following donated items:
Canned tuna
Pasta and pasta sauce
Alphaghetti, Kraft Dinner and Chef Boyardee
Breakfast cereal
Peanut Butter
Any non-perishable fruit and vegetable items
Rice
Canned soup/stew
Feminine hygiene products
Baby formula
Diapers
