Durham Region Municipalities come together to support Feed the Need in Durham

Update: Friday is your last chance to donate to Feed the Need at a Clarington facility. Drop off your non-perishable food donation at a location below or donate online!

Clarington, the Region of Durham and other 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 individuals, seniors, and families throughout the Region. As Durham Region continues to rapidly grow and food prices increase, more people are using food banks and related services than ever before. The Region and area municipalities are taking action to address this need in the community.

From September 5 to 27, it will be even easier for residents, businesses and community groups to donate non-perishable food items with more drop-off locations than ever located throughout Durham.  

Donate Online

For every $1 donated, Feed the Need in Durham can collect, store, and distribute two meals and other needed products to reach those in need.
