Food Drive
*** Announcement ***
Please know we are monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic via Hamilton Public Health and are assessing how our upcoming food drive may be affected. We are committed to running the food drive this year and will make adjustments and alterations as things progress during the coming weeks, decisions will be based on information that comes from the City of Hamilton. At this time there are no changes or impacts. We are working on alternative plans now.. ie, what to do if the HSR Bus is not available such as ask for people with SUV’s, Pick-up Trucks to help with food collection. Any adjustments or changes will be communicated to volunteers as soon as possible.
