It's National Volunteer Month

Today marks the start of National Volunteer Week and it’s a great opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding group who, without much fanfare, volunteer with Fare Share Food Banks 52 weeks of the year.

Over 70 dedicated, caring people who distribute 30,0000lbs of food per month to over 640 households in the Cobourg/Port Hope area.

Community minded men and women including retirees, students, business owners, professionals, from all walks of life, who derive satisfaction in knowing that their efforts are making a big difference.

Volunteers who have embraced the notion of continuous improvement in service toward meeting and exceeding our annual goals.

Since 2013, Fare Share has doubled the amount of food per household and enhanced the quality of our choices to include year round availability of fresh milk, eggs, cheese, fruit, vegetables and meat.

Our team has also strengthen ties with other community service organizations to make significant progress in helping families in need.

It is an enormous privilege for me to work with such a great group of people. Become a VOLUNTEER TODAY.

All the Best
