October can be a very satisfying time of year. The worst of the summer heat has passed, and plenty of people are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Hallowe’en. But this isn’t true for everyone.
When money is tight, these special occasions can cause an even more unpleasant pinch. If corners have to be cut, it can lead to feelings of desperation, and wondering where to turn.
The Kingsville Community Food Bank stands ready to serve community members in need. Its volunteers are dedicated to providing relief and assistance. And of course, none of this would be possible without the people of our community who give so generously.
Here’s a list of items that the Food Bank is looking for in October:
They welcome gift cards for groceries, products for babies, pet supplies including dog and cat food, laundry and dish detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, and more. Cardboard boxes and cloth bags are always welcome. If you can help, the Food Bank would appreciate it.
The Food Bank is located at 18 Division Street North in Kingsville across the street from RBC Bank. You can also use their drop-off bin inside Zehrs, shown in the picture below.
