The annual London Cares Curb Hunger Campaign

Описание: The London Cares Curb Hunger campaign is this month in support of the London Food Bank to spread awareness of the need for fresh and non-perishable food donations locally.

Each year, the London Cares Curb Hunger campaign supports more than 25,000 individuals in need of food. The food drive is the longest running partnership of its kind in Canada. The annual campaign raises awareness of the London Food Bank and the need for support during the summer months, which is traditionally a slower period for food donations.

Donations for this year are being accepted between June 8 and June 18, 2022. In addition to Green Walls, there are several ways residents can participate:

Fresh Food Donations - Both fresh and non-perishable foods continue to be accepted at the Food Bank, located at 926 Leathorne St.

Financial Donations - Online donations at www.londonfoodbank.ca are vital and the quickest way to help the London Food Bank acquire fresh food.

Plant a Row, Grow a Row - Londoners can sign up to help Grow-a-Row for the Food Bank in their backyard or community gardens.

Adopt a Plot - The London Food Bank now has on-site garden beds to grow vegetables for use in client hampers. Groups are welcome to sign up to adopt a plot of these gardens to help plant, raise, and harvest vegetables.

Non-Perishable Food Donation - Non-perishable food donations can be left at your local fire hall or at participating grocery stores.

As a reminder, pickup of non-perishable food donations is no longer offered curbside. For more information on this year’s campaign or for ways to donate, please visit www.london.ca/fooddrive.
