We asked you, our loyal readers, to join us in supporting the Fare Share Food Bank Oakville 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 Fare Share Food Bank Oakville needs our support more than ever.

Oakville News brought our whole community together to help provide that support. 

We partnered with Fortinos Neyagawa to offer food packages for purchase through an online pop-up store. 

Oakville News matched every purchase made through the online store.

Together, we raised $750 for the Fare Share Food Bank Oakville and delivered 15 food packages, helping to support those who need it most over the holiday season. Thank you!

Special thanks to Fortinos Neyagawa for donating the food packages for this initiative.

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 (905-847-3988) to arrange a donation, or click here for more information on how to give back.
