One Year After The Fire - Keeping You Updated
The loss of Apsley’s only grocery store had a major impact on our community, especially our seniors, who have had to make significant adjustments to their lifestyles.
Your donations have ensured no one has gone without access to needed food services throughout 2020 - 2021. We are continuing our commitment to provide food-related services free of charge, as long as the Be A Lifeline funds will allow us to do during the rebuilding process.
The second edition of the Be A Lifeline Donor Newsletter - December 2021 - is linked here.
Volunteer Drivers Continue Taking Clients for Groceries or Doing Deliveries
We will continue to support the grocery needs through our volunteer transportation program. We would like to remind you that free transportation services related to food security are in effect until we have a new grocery store, and encourage our community members to reach out if needed.
We do require 2 business days’ notice to schedule a drive, and if assistance in planning is needed for shopping trips, our staff and volunteers are happy to help. Call our Apsley office - (705)656-4589 or email through this link here
For the Holidays
We will be giving away grocery gift cards, in keeping with our promise to utilize Be A Lifeline funds for food security purposes. Thanks to continued partnerships with the North Kawartha Foodbank, Apsley Central Public School, County of Peterborough Social Services and local businesses, we have identified over 70 families and individuals that will benefit from this.
