Food drive: donate unused food
Overview
A food drive collects unused food and drink from households and passes it to welfare groups and facilities through food banks. Ward counters at all regional centres and the Child and Family Support Center take donations, as do some participating shops. Items must be unopened, undamaged and not in jars. Frozen, chilled, supplement and medicine items are not accepted, and delivery is not accepted.
