Yoga Harvest Food Bank Top 5 Food Drive

It's back and better than ever! The Yoga Harvest Food Bank Top 5 Food Drive is here to help stock the shelves at Community Food Share Food Banks Serving Dundas and Stormont Counties with their top 5 most needed items.

Their shelves are running dangerously low, and while they need many things (PLEASE NO MORE PASTA), they desperately need these 5 items. 

By donating these items, you will not only help the food banks by giving them the most needed items but also be entered to win a prize if you bring in one of each!

Here are the items:

• Peanut butter
• "Sun Butter" or other school-safe nut-free spread
• Canned tomatoes or tomato sauce
• Canned meats (tuna, ham or turkey)
• Fruit snacks for children's lunches (applesauce cups or fruit cups)

When bringing in these items, please ensure they are unopened and unexpired and placed in a bag neatly labelled with your first and last name, phone number, and email address so that we can enter your information into the draw and contact you if you win. Last year, a few expired and damaged items couldn't be used, and a few people didn't put their names down to be entered into the draw.

Donations can be dropped off at HealthGirl Studio during business hours or at the fundraiser. If you have questions or are unsure of where to go, please email [email protected]

Last year, we collected over 300 pounds of food. Let's unite as a community to help our food banks this year and beat last year's food donations!

Plus, remember that the Yoga Harvest Event takes place at the Joel Steele Community Centre on October 20, 2024, and to join this relaxing, all-levels gentle yoga event, all you need to do is donate $30 by going here: https://www.communityfoodshare.ca/donate/ Enter "Yoga Harvest" in the notes when you donate to ensure you reserve your spot!

We can't wait to see you on your mats, thank you for helping our community grow and thrive.
