Good Food Boxes Available Through Two Sources
Depending where you live in our rural area, there are Good Food Box Programs available from two agencies : YWCA in Peterborough,and Community Care in Lindsay. Today, Good Food Boxes were delivered to Omemee from Lindsay, thanks to the co-ordination efforts of Amanda Ernst, and Sue and Paul Beaumont.Community Care Kawartha Lakes Runs Food Box Program For All!
Good Food Boxes are available once a month through the Kawartha Lakes Community Care offices. Participants in this program pay $15 before the first Tuesday of the month to the Community Care offices on Angeline Street South, then on the third Tuesday if each month, pick up their Good Food Box from one of several locations. If a person is on a severely restricted income,and qualifies for Ontario Works,then,their Good Food Box is totally subsidized by Ontario Works.
