Quinte West OPP Hosts Food Drive in Trenton This Saturday

A community food drive organized by the Quinte West OPP is set to take place this Saturday, December 13, 2023, in Trenton. The event aims to support local food banks by gathering essential donations from residents.

From 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., volunteers will be stationed at the Metro Trenton grocery store, located at 53 Quinte Street. Members of the OPP Detachment and the OPP Auxiliary Unit will be present to collect both cash and non-perishable food items. The goal is to fill an OPP cruiser with donations to assist those in need within the community.

The initiative is part of ongoing efforts by the Quinte West OPP to engage with local residents and address food insecurity. “We encourage everyone to come out, donate, and help us support those who may be struggling during this time of year,” stated a representative from the OPP.

Community members are urged to contribute generously, as every donation can make a significant impact. The collected items will be distributed to local food banks, ensuring that they reach families and individuals who rely on these services.

This event not only provides an opportunity for local residents to give back but also fosters a sense of community spirit. The collaboration between law enforcement and volunteers from the food bank highlights the importance of working together to tackle pressing social issues.

As the holiday season approaches, food drives like this play a crucial role in ensuring that everyone has access to essential resources. The Quinte West OPP’s commitment to community engagement reflects a broader effort to support vulnerable populations.

Residents are encouraged to participate in this important cause and help make a difference in their community.
