And so it begins

    We’re excited to announce that the Pickering Cares Community Food Drive has officially begun! New to the food drive this year is the donation bag. Thanks to the Pickering Town Centre and News Advertiser, a donation bag will be delivered with the News Advertiser on May 3^rd, to approximately 23,000 households in Pickering. We are asking residents to place food items in the bags and then place their front porch – by 9am. In order to ensure a successful pick-up from our volunteers, we ask that you place the bags in an area visible from the street.

    If you don’t get a copy of the News Advertiser, donation bags will also be distributed by our Youth Volunteer groups at the Pickering Town Centre on Saturday, May 5^th starting at 11am.

    Please be aware if you live in an apartment building or condo, or on a rural road, donations can be made directly at the Pickering Town Centre, by Zellers, or at any Fire Hall in Pickering from May 4^th through to the 19^th.
