Ways to support local.
Many kids will enjoy a summer vacation filled with fresh, delicious foods and fun activities. But, there are other children in your community who don’t get enough to eat, particularly during the months when school lunch programs take a break.
The Food Bank of Waterloo Region also sees a significant reduction in donations during the summer months. That means the Food Bank of Waterloo Region need your help to keep the shelves stocked for hungry children this July and August.
