Durham Region Municipalities come together to support Feed the Need in Durham

The Region of Durham, Clarington, and other 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.

From September 6 to 29, the Region, Clarington, and other area municipalities will have numerous drop-off locations to make it easy for residents, businesses and community groups to drop off non-perishable food items.

Donate now.
