We asked you, our loyal readers, to join us in supporting the Newmarket Food Pantry this festive season — and your response was nothing short of extraordinary.
During the holidays, an increased number of people are reliant on our local food bank. This increased need means that the Newmarket Food Pantry needs our support more than ever.
NewmarketToday brought our whole community together to help provide that support.
We partnered with John's No Frills to offer food packages for purchase through an online pop-up store.
NewmarketToday and generous local businesses pledged to match every purchase made through the online store, meaning that every purchase was matched five times!
Together, we raised $2,325 for the Newmarket Food Pantry and delivered 15 food packages, helping to support those who need it most over the holiday season. Thank you!
Special thanks to John's No Frills for donating the food packages for this initiative, and to the following businesses who have joined us in matching each donation: Juliane Goyette- Riverwalk Wealth, Brian Lavoie- Riverwalk Financial, Newmarket Home Hardware and International Safety.
If you didn't get a chance to participate in this program, we encourage you to send your donation directly to the local food bank. You can give online or call (905-895-6823) to arrange a donation, or click here for more information on how to give back.
