Champlain Food Drive

Once again is it time for the Champlain Holiday Food Drive. The food and money collected through this effort is always a vital component of our efforts to fight hunger and feed hope. Thank you for your support for the drive either through your donations or through the efforts of the local business partners throughout the township who support our local Food Drive.

L'Orignal Food Drive

There will be no door-to-door collection. People can bring their non-perishable foods and money donations at the designated areas. Thanks to L'Orignal Volunteer Firefighters Association and Conseil 6452 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Knights of Columbus.

Due to changing needs, L'Orignal Food Bank does need more cash donations. Donate cash or cheques payable to L'Orignal Food Bank with notation Food Drive. Bring your monetary donations to the Fire Hall or mail it directly to the Food Bank (135-C Longueuil Street, PO Box 330, L'Orignal, ON, K0B 1K0). Official receipts will be issued for all donations of $20 and more.
