Holding an Event

THE PROBLEM: We Need Food

Kawartha Lakes Food Source supports eight (8) member food banks, twenty-one (21) school nutrition programs, and six (6) social service agencies. We give food to these organizations so that they can get it to those in their communities who need it. The pandemic and tight economic times have only further burdened these organizations. But how can you help?

THE SOLUTION: Food & Donation Drives

Organize a food drive! Both food and monetary donations go a long way as we put together orders of both perishable and non-perishable foods to send to our member food banks. There are a few models for how to hold a food drive. Download this toolkit for help on figuring out how to run an event to support KLFS!
