Community Event - Niagara - Giving Back Weekend - Bottle, Battery & Food Drive
A Giving Back Weekend in Thorold including a bottle drive, used battery collection and food bank campaign will be hosted by the Knights of Columbus 2319 on October 15th and 16th in support of the Walker Family Cancer Center as well as the St. Vincent de Paul Society Food Bank. Donations can be brought to the foyer in front of Holy Rosary Hall, 35 Queen Street South, Thorold. The convenient drive-up and drop off schedule will run from 4 to 8 pm on Friday, October 15th and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, October 16th.
The Giving Back Weekend is an opportunity to do our part to save the environment, while supporting the Walker Family Cancer Center by dropping off beverage alcohol containers purchased in Ontario on which a deposit has been paid. All collected wine, beer, and spirit containers over 100ml have a deposit value of 10 or 20 cents. All proceeds from the collection will be donated to the Walker Family Cancer Center.
The Knights also encourage people in our community to do the right thing by conveniently recycling their used batteries to drive them away from local landfills.
Proceeds from the bottle drive and battery collection will go to the Walker Family Cancer Center. All non-perishable food donations will go to St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank. Donors don’t even have to open their wallets to support the charities during the Giving Back Weekend.
