Neighbourhood Network

Fall Food Drive

Back to Programs

Jan. 26, 2021 — Apr. 30, 2021

About the Program

Neighbourhood Network’s Fall Food Drive program supports local food banks between the holiday seasons. Each year, hundreds of pounds of food and thousands of dollars are raised to help feed our communities.

Our community food banks need your help more than ever this year.  We are challenging you to buy some urgently needed items and donate them to a food bank in your town! Due to the continued urgent need from our local food banks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue running this program/volunteer opportunity throughout the winter season. 

Community Involvement Hours for High School Students– High School students looking for Community Involvement Hours can participate in this program!  Go shopping and pick up groceries that are listing as needed in your specific area.  Drop off as directed. Challenge your friends to do the same.  Fill in your community involvement sheet and have it verified by a guardian. Submit your community involvement sheet with the total shopping and delivery times recorded to [email protected] for sign off.  Note: you must be able to have this verified by a partner or guardian.
