On October 29th, CFUW KW members rolled up their sleeves and volunteered their time at the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. Together, our team sorted over 3,000 pounds of food, helping ensure that donations from across the community get to those who need them most. We learned that 1 in 8 households in the region are currently using the Food Banks services. 

Through our collective efforts—volunteering, food donations, and financial contributions—CFUW KW members helped provide over 3,000 meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity in our region. Around 1,800 meals per day are distributed everyday.  

The experience was both eye-opening and rewarding, reminding us of the impact that community action and teamwork can have. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this initiative. Every can, every dollar, and every hour truly makes a difference.
