The Township of Uxbridge Encourages Food and Monetary Donations for Hunger Action Month 2025!

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. 

Demand for support services is rising rapidly as food prices continue to climb, making it more important than ever to ensure that members of our community have access to the resources they need. Right now, more people are experiencing homelessness or relying on food banks and related services than ever before.

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 to learn about current needs, please visit https://uxbridgefoodbank.com/our-needs/  

From September 1 to 28, the Township will be accepting non-perishable food donations at Town Hall (51 Toronto Street South), Monday to Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

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 two meals and other essential products to reach those in need.
