Today, the hearts of our food bank are overflowing ❤️❤️

Thank you to Walden Minor Hockey Association, Walden Ringette Association, and all the amazing kids and parents who volunteered their time and evening to go door to door last night collecting donations for our benefit. Thank you to those that helped inside with sorting, making boxes and carrying boxes! It was a real team effort of organized chaos😃. Thank you to Tim Hortons in Lively for donating hot chocolate for the kids!

We completely filled one empty storage room - a quick count last night was that we sorted and packed at least 105 boxes of food items. Every single item will be distributed back within our community to help those facing food insecurity. In addition to the goods, we received amazing cash donations (total tbd!) which will be put to good use for our weekly groceries.

This food drive means so much to us and it truly provides us with fully stocked shelves.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

We’re busy at the Walden Food Bank this morning, preparing for another hectic Thursday afternoon!

To avoid disappointment if you are visiting us today:
- please arrive early to get in the queue - we usually have numbers out by 12:30
- please have patience and kindness as you wait

Last week, we were so busy and had so many clients, we were out of produce by 2pm! We prepare and anticipate quantities as best as we can, but exceptionally busy days may mean we run out early.

We’re here to help as many people as possible.

Thank you everyone for your kindness, compassion and cooperation.

‼️‼️ Thank you, St. James Catholic Elementary School for your impact on our community. Your students and families helped us significantly, and at a perfect time when our shelves were getting empty and needed to be replenished. You filled two truck beds and two SUV trunks full of food that will go straight to our friends and neighbours who need it. THANK YOU ALL! ‼️‼️
