The Region of Durham and area municipalities are coming together this National Hunger Action Month to help raise awareness, food donations and funds to fight hunger in the community.
Hunger is an important issue that affects residents from across the region. With the devastation of the pandemic still causing pressures on the cost of living, more people are using food banks and related services than ever before, said a statement from the Town of Whitby.
From September 6 to 29, the region and area municipalities will have numerous drop-off locations located throughout Durham, making it easy for residents, businesses and community groups to drop off non-perishable food items, it said.
Stay tuned for updates and locations available to drop off your food donations, it added.
