2025 Food Blitz a Success

Our 2025 Food Blitz Day was this past Saturday, April 12^th and we were able to collect just over 24,000 lbs towards our 25,000 lb goal. Our teams had plenty of fun, and shoppers were generous. As Kingston’s food bank, our annual Food Blitz has been an essential food drive for us every spring since 1984.

We also have a goal of $30,000 for the month of April. We have received $14,192.42 in donations so far.

We would like to say thank you to our 10 grocery stores:

Tanya’s No Frills - Division Street                                             Andrew & Emily’s No Frills – Coverdale Drive

Loblaws - Princess Street                                                           Loblaws – Midland Avenue

We would also like to extend heart felt thank you to our volunteers from:

Kingston Rotary groups, Kingston and Area Real Estate Association, Kingston Health Sciences Centre, RBC, BMO, CFB Kingston, as well as numerous individuals. Their incredible assistance brings our mission “to provide nourishment, hope, and support in our community with an opportunity for all to share” to life.

Partners in Mission Food Bank has been helping our Kingston and Loyalist Township neighbours in need since 1984. We do not receive government or agency funding, and we rely solely on our community for food and financial support. We feel incredibly lucky to be a part of a generous community.

Thank you,

Dan Irwin (Executive Director)
