The 33rd Annual Stratford & Area Food Drive – Drive-Thru is set for Saturday from 9:00am to 2:00pm.
Organized by Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, the Food Drive is in support of The Upper Room Hospitality Ministry. There are five drive-thru locations with volunteers on-site, ready to accept non-perishable food items or monetary donations. Those drive-thru locations are:
– Our Lady of the Assumption Church
– Stratford Town Hall

Demand for Food Bank services is at an all-time high. Food Banks Canada released the annual Hunger Count report in October showing that Food Bank usage in PEI was up 27% in comparison to 2022 and a 42% increase since 2019.
