January 5, 2024  Partners Helping the Community

      

To "Give where you Live" is a motto Rob's No Frills lives by!  Today we are thrilled to let you know that Rob and his team reached out to us to ask us to deliver over 40 turkeys which were not sold during the holidays to the Richmond Hill Food Bank!  Because of the holidays and shortages of staff and vehicles we were honoured to deliver them to the Food Bank for Rob and his team.  These turkeys were received with massive amounts of gratitude by the volunteers at the Food Bank. 

This is how we build community.  One trunk, several volunteers, 40+ turkeys = lots of grateful families!  Kudos to Rob and his team and the volunteers at the Richmond Hill Food Bank for ensuring we help our community.  @RobsNoFrills. @RichmondHillFoodBank

October 14th, 2023 - Food Drive

Oak Ridges Residents are Amazing! 

            

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing community for coming together and making our recent food drive a resounding success. Last week, you joined hands with us to make a meaningful impact on those in need. Your generous contributions of non-perishable items and financial support were the driving force behind this initiative's success. Thanks to your selflessness and compassion, we were able to collect an 1475 lbs of food items and $415.00 in financial donations that will provide nourishment and relief to those less fortunate. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication to making our community a better place. Thank you for being the heart and soul of our community.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to our local Councillor, Carol Davidson, our MPP Michael Parsa, and our MP Leah Taylor-Roy, KIND, Richmond Hill Hall Charities Association, and Rob Klement of Rob's No Frills for their invaluable contributions to our food drive. Their commitment to our community and their willingness to lend a helping hand serve as an inspiring example for us all. It is heartwarming to see our public representatives and partners actively involved in making a positive difference in the lives of our neighbours. We thank them for their dedication and for setting a shining example of community engagement and cooperation. Together, we are making our community stronger and more compassionate.

Thank you to each and everyone one of you who came, shopped, smiled and improved the lives of others.

Over 1100 lbs of food and $100.00 raised to help local families in need! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are also so very grateful to Rob and his team, (who also donated 2 carts of frozen turkeys!), the volunteers and most importantly, the residents who made this such a great success on such a cold and rainy day!  Thank you!:)

Thank you to everyone who participated!

 

October 2020 - Food Drive

The Oak Ridges Lions would like to thank the incredibly generous residents of our community for the overwhelming success of monetary and food donations which we received on behalf of the Richmond Hill Food Bank! 

Amazing weather the weekend of October 17-18, 2020 provided a welcome opportunity to be out of doors, socially distancing, and still coming together to support those in need in our community.  We were thrilled to meet so many incredible members of our community who were so quick to assist the Food Bank.  We are honoured to let you know, that with your generous donations, we were able to deliver over 1600 pounds of food and a donation of $575.00!  

We are so proud and grateful to be a part of such a caring community.  Thank you so very much!
