Durham Region Municipalities Come Together to Support Hunger Action Month

- Aug 29, 2024

Drop off non-perishable foods at participating facilities from September 5 to September 27 or donate online

Whitby, Ontario, August 27, 2024 – The Region of Durham and area municipalities are once again coming together this National Hunger Action Month to help raise awareness, food donations, and funds to fight hunger in the community.

Hunger is an important issue that affects individuals, seniors, and families throughout the Region. As Durham Region continues to rapidly grow and food prices increase, more people are experiencing homelessness and/or using food banks and related services than ever before. The Region and area municipalities are taking action to address this need in the community.

From September 5 to 27, there will be more drop-off locations than ever located throughout Durham, making it even easier for residents, businesses and community groups to donate non-perishable food items. Visit your local municipality online to find a drop-off location near you:

All donations will be leveraged by Feed the Need in Durham and area food banks to support local families in need.

Leverage your impact: For every $1 donated, Feed the Need in Durham can collect, store, and distribute two meals and other needed products to reach those in need. Donate online.
