Local Food Banks need our help!
Join the Kin-wide effort to make a difference on September 20, 2025
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
On Saturday, September 20, 2025 the Kin Club of Orleans is collecting food and cash donations to support the Compassion Centre Food Bank. This Orleans organization is the only Food Bank that distributes to the community in the K1C postal code. 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 13, follow the instructions inside the bag.
Leave your donation outside your house in the morning of September 20. 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 collect donations on September 20. The more people come out, the more we can collect.
Check your doorstep starting September 13. If you live in the K1C postal code you might receive one of our special paper grocery bags.
