FEED THE NEED
Local Food Banks need our help!
Join the Kin-wide effort to make a difference on October 3, 2026
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
On Saturday, October 3, 2026 the Kin Club of Orleans is collecting food and cash donations to support the Orleans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre Food Bank. This year will also be collecting new, or gently used craft supplies to support Sonshine Families.
Club members and volunteers will be collecting door-to-door.
WHAT WILL I DO?
If you receive one of our paper shopping bags at your house starting September 26, follow the instructions inside the bag.
Leave your donation outside your house in the morning of October 3. One of our volunteers will stop by that day to pick it up. It's that simple!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Volunteer! We need you! Email info@kincluborleans.ca to help the Club over two weekends - September 26 and to collect donations on October 3. We especially need drivers on October 3! The more people come out, the more we can collect.
Check your doorstep starting September 26. You might receive one of our special paper grocery bags.
