Leaside Memorial Community Gardens along with our user groups the Leaside Hockey Association, the Leaside Skating Club, the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association, Edge Power Skating and Hockey Extreme are commemorating George Turrell the “King of Leaside” with our 2nd Annual Food Drive for the Thorncliffe Food Bank. This year we are also accepting donations of children’s books!
We look forward to the Community’s enthusiastic participation.
Date and Time:
Saturday, June 25th from 10:00am to 2:00pm
Location:
“George Turrell Lane” at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens
Process:
Now that COVID restrictions have been lifted, bins will be available at designated spot and donations will be deposited directly into the bins by the donor. Light refreshments will be served during the event.
You can now drop off both food and gently used children’s book
A children’s book section has been set at the food bank in Thorncliffe. They can’t wait to get books into the hands of the many children whose families access the food bank every month.
Warmer weather traditionally signals a lull in donations, so the George Turrell Food Drive is the perfect opportunity to help Thorncliffe continue to assist families during the summer months.
Some suggested items include:
- Toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, and especially feminine hygiene pads
- cereal
- peanut butter
- 2 kg bags of sugar
- canned fruits, vegetables, and soup
- diced tomatoes
- crackers
- jam
- tea and coffee
- canned kidney beans and mixed beans
- juice
