The communities of Brighton and Quinte West are coming together today to restock the shelves of their local food banks. In Brighton, All Hands on Deck food drive sponsor Rowley Electric will be a beacon to guide you to one of the donation locations.
Rowley’s Ian Forbes tells us his business feels a responsibility to the community to address hunger. The same applies at Brighton No Frills where Angela Bates is a co-owner.
At Sobeys in Brighton, assistant Manager Mike Wood says his employees will also be accepting your donations of food and cash today.
In Quinte West Smileys Your Independent Grocer is accepting food and cash for Trenton’s Care and Share Food Bank. Owner Ian Smiley tells us being on the frontline of the retail food business shines a light on the importance of food security.
Whether you’re in Quinte West or the Brighton – Northumberland region, you can help the food banks in your community today by making a food or cash donation at Smileys in Trenton, or No Frills and Sobeys in Brighton, between 10am and 4pm today.
