September is Hunger Action Month- Township of Uxbridge Encourages Foodbank Donations

Drop off non-perishable foods now through September 28 or donate online

Uxbridge and surrounding Durham Region municipalities are once again coming together this September for National Hunger Action Month to help raise awareness, food donations, and funds to fight hunger in the community and across Durham Region.

The demand for services from local food banks has never been higher. Residents are encouraged to make donations to the local foodbank at Zehrs, Pharmasave and the Trail Capital Pharmacy. To make a donation appointment at the Loaves and Fishes Foodbank or learn about their current needs please visit https://uxbridgefoodbank.com/our-needs/.

From September 5 to 28, non-perishable food donations will be accepted at Town Hall Monday-Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. Residents can also leverage their impact by donating online to Feed The Need Durham. For every $1 donated, Feed the Need in Durham can collect, store and distribute $7 worth of food and other needed products to reach those in need across the Region.
