The money was raised from merchandise proceeds of Jones’s podcast, “Jonsey’s Corner Podcast” where Imprinted Apparel created the apparel and designed the logo. The printing business matched the funds raised totalling $1,200 for Kawartha Food Share.

“I feel very passionate for what Kawartha Food Share does for our community,” said Jones. “I thought this would be a great opportunity to give back to the community that I call my home.”

Jones started raising the money for a month beginning in early February.

His podcast just reached its one-year anniversary and has featured over 70 guests. They include local athletes, notable community members, artists and other builders.

Jones is a recognized community builder in Peterborough, recognized in March of last year with a certificate. He has volunteered for organizations such as Alternatives Community Program Services and Challenger Baseball.
