Fall Food Drive a Success

The Inn of the Good Shepherd is celebrating another successful Thanksgiving Fall Food Drive.

The total weight of donated food is 38,500 lbs., just shy of their goal for 40,000 lbs.

Shelves will be filled to help provide for the 1,800 people served each month at the food bank.

While the community is thanked for their donations, the Inn is still in need of boxed cereal, canned fruit, peanut butter and jam, canned pasta, pasta sauce, side dishes, and hygiene items.

Food donations can be dropped off at 115 John St., 950 Confederation St., most grocery stores and firehalls.
