Feeding Durham
We will be donating the food collected to Feed the Need in Durham. FTND collects, processes and shares food with front line emergency food providers across Durham. The food drive donations will be processed and distributed anywhere from Pickering to Bowmanville and right up to Brock municipality.

How you can help
You can share about our food drive in 2 ways: print out the flyers below to give to your family and friends or by sharing this page on your social media. Invite your loved ones to church, so that they can bring in the items and participate in the food drive more personally.
Both flyers are images (JPGs) and sized 8.5x11", ready to print, opens a new window
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…”
