A one-day food drive supporting local food banks and helping address food insecurity across the province is coming up this weekend.
Ontario Provincial Police Auxiliary members are holding Operation FULL PLATE on Saturday, Oct. 3.
In our area, non-perishable food items and other essential goods are being accepted at the OPP East Region Headquarters on Queen Street in Smith Falls.
“Every donation, no matter the size, can make a difference,” states a release. “Together, we can help stock local food banks, support those experiencing food insecurity and strengthen our communities.”
Officials say serving communities has been at the heart of the OPP Auxiliary Program for more than 65 years, and this initiative builds on that tradition of service.
