✨Help Us Make Christmas Special✨

Last year, 266 children in our community benefited from our Christmas Adopt a Star program. Thanks to the generosity of the community, children received toiletries, toques and gloves, pajamas, underwear and socks, along with age-appropriate toys and stocking stuffers.

We are now looking for donations to help make Christmas special for local families once again this year. Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference and help bring some extra joy to a child this Christmas.

If you are able to donate, we would be grateful for your support!

Thank you for supporting families in our community! ❤️✨

Important Update 📣‼️

We wanted to get the word out early that we are changing how we provide our Christmas food assistance! 🎄

Instead of our two pre-packed Christmas food hampers, we are going to give clients the opportunity to go through our Christmas shopping room and choose their own food that their household needs and will enjoy!

The goal is to give families choice, flexibility and dignity, and to make the Christmas food experience a little more special.

We are currently looking for donations of clean, reusable grocery bags to help distribute food to individuals and families in our community.🛍️

If you have extra reusable bags at home that you no longer need, we would appreciate your donation!

Donations can be dropped off at the Meaford Food Bank and Outreach within our open hours, Mondays 9:30am-11:30am, Thursdays 5pm-7pm.

Thank you for your support! Every donation makes a difference. 🫶🏼
