Those who didn’t get a bag can still arrange for a porch pick-up or bring the donation to the Centre Wellington District High School parking lot on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. 

A flyer noted the items most needed by the CW Food Bank are: 

  • Pasta sauce
  • Pasta side dishes
  • Rice side dishes
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned soup
  • Canned beans
  • Peanut butter
  • Juice
  • Toilet paper
  • Canned salmon

Monday is reserved as an alternative pick-up day and can be arranged by calling or texting (519)-993-6226. 

Organizers are also seeking volunteers to assist with the food drive. For more information email [email protected] or [email protected]
