The Reverse Advent Calendar Food Drive is Back!
As the holiday season approaches, Kawartha Lakes Food Source is gearing up to launch our annual Reverse Advent Calendar food drive! This year’s event will run from November 1st to 30th, 2023.
The idea behind the Reverse Advent Calendar is simple: rather than getting something each day, we are calling on the community to give something by providing a food or household item to donate daily.
Last year’s event brought in a total of 1,331 lbs of donations. This year, we are looking to beat that number and will be setting a goal to collect 1,500 lbs of donations for our community!
If you would like to get involved and help us reach our goal, the full list items assigned to each day between November 1st to 30th can be seen to the right. You can also request a printable version of this list by entering your email at the bottom of this page.
How to Participate
Complete the Reverse Advent Calendar by collecting as many items as you can from our list. On or after November 30th, drop off your finished Reverse Advent Calendar to our distribution centre at 164 Needham Street in Lindsay.
Stay tuned on our social media channels for weekly list postings and interactive opportunities to join the festive fun!
As we continue to see increases in food bank use heading into the holidays, support from our community is more valuable than ever. Many of the donations collected through the Reverse Advent Calendar can be distributed in time for Christmas and provide food and hope to our friends and neighbours who are struggling.
Have a question? Please reach out to Erika at admin@kawarthalakesfoodsource.com or give us a call at (705) 324-0707.
Thank you for helping us take a bite out of hunger in the City of Kawartha Lakes!
