Drop off non-perishable foods at participating facilities now through September 29 or donate online
The Region of Durham and 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 and area municipalities will have numerous drop-off locations located throughout Durham, making it easy for residents, businesses and community groups to drop off non-perishable food items.
In Whitby you can drop off food at the following locations |

All donations will be leveraged by Feed the Need in Durham and other area food banks to support local families in need.
Residents can also leverage their impact by donating online. For every $1 donated, Feed the Need in Durham can collect, store and distribute $7 worth of food and other needed product to reach those in need.
