How you can help
Donate!
If you would like to make a donation, we accept cash, cheques, Mastercard, Visa or food. You can make an online financial donation at the Canada Helps website. Click on the link provided. 
A $10 donation allows us to distribute $60 worth of food. Tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more. See below how donating $150 or more, can add your name to our Tree of Life!
Have a Food Drive
Having a food drive is a great way to get your family and colleagues involved. We can help organize your drive and provide you with useful information about hunger in the area. If you need brochures we can provide them.
Volunteer
Donating your time can be done in various ways. Participate in our public education, food acquisition and fundraising committees. Help with special events such as food drives, tag days, Seedy Saturday and Empty Bowls.
For more information about any of our volunteer opportunities please contact our Volunteer Coordinator.
Kawartha Lakes Food Source Honours Donors
on New “Tree of Life”
Food nourishes life. And donors to Kawartha Lakes Food Source make it possible to provide food to people in need in our community. That’s why the generous people who donate $150 or more to the Food Source are honoured by having their names inscribed on a leaf, which is then attached to a beautiful metal “Tree of Life,” created by Little Britain sculptor Cathy Mark.
Donations of $150 to $499 in a given calendar year will be represented by a green leaf. Gifts of $500 to $999 will be marked with a bronze leaf and those of $1,000 to $2,999 receive a silver leaf. Those who donate $3,000 to $4,999 in a year will be represented by a gold leaf, gifts of $5,000 to $9,999 platinum, and those over $10,000 will receive a diamond leaf.
