Annual Food Drive
Our Annual Food Drive started October 6, 2024 and runs until December
21, 2024
This season we collect food as well as
gifts for needy people in our neighbourhood as well as for On Rock.
Please help make our food drive a success. As you are able, please let
us start by bringing in at least 1 non-perishable food item per person
per week. A
Shopping List with
suggested items for each week is available
here.
If you would like, a small Christmas gift for children up to 10 years
old, wrapped and marked: boy (age) or girl (age). That Christmas gift,
together with mittens, scarves and hats can be placed on or near the
special Christmas tree in our Narthex.
Food Drive
One of the programs
On
Rock Community Services runs is their food bank. There are many
needy families living on the West-Island and On Rock serves about 300
families every week. They also run a School Lunch Program and are
currently providing 35 lunches per week. There thus is a need for food
throughout the year. Here are a few items that On Rock always is in need
of on weekly basis:
• canned meat/fish,
• peanut butter/jam,
• dried beans/lentils/couscous,
• cereal,
• juice,
• oatmeal,
• oil,
• side dishes
A more complete list, including personal
care items, is posted on
this
On Rock site. You can bring your food and other items to
Ste-Genny's any time and we will make sure it gets delivered to On Rock
(see tribute
here).
In one year On Rock distributes over
$1,500,000 in food. They welcome financial donations to help run their
operations and to continue to make a difference in the people they
serve, as described on their
Financial
Donations page.
