This is the biggest fundraiser for the RFDA when it comes to donations of non-perishable food items and goods.
The “Posties Food Drive for RFDA” is Sat. April 30th; postal workers who’ve volunteered to scour neighbourhoods picking up bags of food left by residents on either their front door or mailboxes get brought back to the warehouse to be sorted and distributed across the region.
In years past, this fundraiser used to bringing in a few tonnes of food, now the Regional Food Distribution Association is yielding 12-13 tonnes of food.
It’s easy for Thunder Bay residents to donate, here’s how:
- Put non-perishable food items in a sealed bag (rain expected on Saturday)
- Hang the bag from your mailbox or front door by SAT. APRIL 30 from 10am – 4pm.
- If pickup was missed at your home, put the bag back out by Mon. May 2nd by 9am.
- BONUS you can even attach the flyer you received in the mail to the bag for better visibility
