THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET SPICY!

Our Club Vice President, Lion Matt, has taken on the TNDF Hot Pepper Challenge to help fill the shelves at the local food bank!

Five brave contestants are competing to raise as much money as possible. But there’s a catch…

The contestant who raises the LEAST amount of money will have to eat a hot pepper LIVE on October 1st.

So if you’d like to help Lion Matt avoid a spicy October 1st, we’d appreciate your donation!

Or… if you’ve ever wanted to see Lion Matt sweat, panic and question his life choices on camera, you can donate to one of the other four contestants and help send him straight to the pepper!

Either way, it’s all for a great cause and every donation helps support TNDF and local families.

Good luck, Lion Matt. We’re rooting for you… mostly.

September is Hunger Action Month... and we're turning up the heat at TNDF 🔥

Introducing our first-ever TNDF Hot Pepper Challenge! 🌶️

Five brave local community champions have agreed to put their taste buds on the line to help raise money for food purchasing at TNDF.

The rules are simple: throughout September, donate in support of your favourite competitor to help save them from the hot pepper. At midnight on September 29, fundraising will close, and the competitor who has raised the least will face a fiery fate at our Community BBQ on October 1, courtesy of our friends at Ark Pepper Co.

And don't worry, if you can't make it in person, we'll be livestreaming the pepper-eating showdown.

While the challenge is all in good fun, the reason behind it is very real. More individuals and families are turning to food support programs, and the demand for food assistance continues to grow. Every donation helps TNDF purchase food and ensure our neighbours have access to the support they need.

So, who are you saving?

Hey Cannington!

Look what we got up to this afternoon!

Yes, we know… the entrance signs were loooooong overdue. But hey, life gets busy!

We gave the signs coming into town from both the east and west a little facelift. New icons recognize some of our amazing local non-profits, and we’ve added a community events section so everyone can see what’s happening around town.

And of course, we had to include the Heart of Ontario logo. Because this is home.

If helping make Cannington a little brighter sounds like your kind of thing, we’re always looking for new members.

Send us a message and come be part of the fun!
