Wolfe Lawyers Free Holiday Parking Program Raises Over $13,000 for Kawartha Food Share

Wolfe Lawyers raised $13,851.95 for Kawartha Food Share (KFS) through their Free Holiday Parking Program that ran from Nov. 25 to Dec. 31 in a cheque presentation on Wednesday.

Kawartha Food Share currently assists more than 9,000 people every month through its 36 member agencies. It supports four meal programs, seven city food banks, six housing projects, seven county food banks and over 20 food cupboards across the City and County of Peterborough.  Photo by David Tuan Bui.

Residents were able to park in all downtown municipal parking spaces including on-street parking, municipal parking lots, the King Street Parking Garage and the Simcoe Street Parking Garage. Any paid parking fees at pay-and-display machines, parking meters or via the HotSpot App during the free two-hour period were donated to KFS.

“We are so thankful for the continued support of the City of Peterborough and the local shoppers for donating to Kawartha Food Share each and every December,” said Ashlee Aitken, KFS general manager. “This year, more than ever before, we needed this donation to help us restock our shelves.”

The program encouraged residents to do their holiday shopping locally and to help raise money to support KFS.
