The Annual Loonies On The Street Fundraiser For Kawartha Food Share Is This Friday

The 21st year of the Loonies on the Street Fundraiser in support of Kawartha Food Share takes place December 11th from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

In an effort to keep everyone safe and to properly enforce Covid-19 protocols, they have moved off the street and into the warmth this year, broadcasting the festivities live on FREQ 90.5 and OLDIES 96.7 from Santa’s House on the lower level of Peterborough Square.

The bucket brigade will be collecting loose change up and down George Street, and their friends from the Lions Club will be collecting on the Hunter Street Bridge. All buckets will be on 6-foot poles to keep everyone safe.

Helping to feed more than 7,700 people a month—35 percent of whom are children—KFS also provides nutritious snacks for area school breakfast programs, helping over 17,000 children get a healthy start to their school day.

Additionally, KFS partners with community meal programs—such as those provided by Brock Mission, One Roof Diner, the Salvation Army and others—to provide a well-rounded outreach for our hungry neighbours.
