Trick or Eat Strikes Again!

Oct 27, 2021

The students of North Addington Education Centre will be suiting up in their Campbell’s Soup costumes on October 31st and knocking on your door! They will be asking for non-perishable food items which will be donated to the local food bank, which is experiencing a shortage of food.

About ten secondary students will be spreading out in Flinton and Cloyne to collect non-perishable food items, instead of tricking or treating for candy. Due to COVID, we do not have enough students to collect in Northbrook, but pick up can be arranged.

This is the tenth year for the very successful event. We’re asking community members to contribute what they can. We will have three to four students canvassing each community between approximately 4:00 and 8:00pm. This year will be a bit different, due to COVID-19 protocols. We ask that everyone who has non-perishable food items to leave them outside the door. Students can pick up the items without contact. Most will be wearing soup costumes and a very large smile. We are going to visit as many households as possible, but if you have contributions and the food is not picked up, please call Candice Bovard throughout the week at 613-336-8991 and we will pick it up.
