The 7 Days of Care-ing

Join me as we support the Kingston Food Bank – Partners in Mission!

Since 2018, I have been collecting donations and monetary gifts to support the Food Bank. As a former recipient of Social Assistance, and community outreach programs such as the Food Bank, I know first-hand how difficult life can become.

Right here in Kingston, we have many families that are experiencing food insecurity, and the Kingston Food Bank works daily to bridge the gap for people who are in need. Imagine having to choose between paying rent or purchasing groceries. A vehicle breakdown can have catastrophic implications on a family’s financial pressure.

This December, I’m seeking your support to give back to the Kingston Food Bank – Partners in Mission, and help those in our community who need it the most.

Each day, we’ll be collecting items from the Food Bank’s Top 5 Wish List Items (though no donation will be turned away!), Day 6 we’ll be collecting any/all donations over 10 hours, and on Day 7, we’ll be back at the Food Bank for the final tallies and totals.

If you are unable to join us at the locations, but would like to support, please leave your monetary gifts online at the Kingston Food Bank – Partners in Mission.

And if you or someone you know is in need of support, please call (613) 544-4100.

As the social worker who assisted me once said: “we all need help sometimes. It just depends on how you ask for it.”
