It's National Volunteer Week, celebrating the dedication and impact of all volunteers in building stronger, more connected communities.

This year’s theme, "Ignite Volunteerism," emphasizes the power of participation and the spark that inspires people to make a difference.

The week recognizes the time, energy, and compassion volunteers contribute.

We are so grateful for our amazing community of volunteers!

Without our dedicated volunteers, our Grey Bruce Good Food Box would not be possible!

THANK YOU!

🔥💙 KINCARDINE, WE’RE ON THE MOVE! 💙🔥

We’re officially rolling and already 2% toward our $40,000 goal 🙌
That’s $920 raised thanks to 17 walkers, 7 teams, and 2 awesome volunteers 👏

This is just the warm-up. With 42 days to go, there’s so much time to build teams, raise funds, and make a real impact for people in our community who need it most.

Every step matters. Every dollar stays local.
Let’s turn this momentum into something BIG 💥

👇 Jump in, donate, fundraise, share
Kincardine, let’s do this.

We would like to inform you of an upcoming change to the price of the Grey Bruce Good Food Box, which will increase from $22 to $25 for all October Good Food Box orders.

This decision was not made lightly. Over the past few months, we have engaged in thoughtful consultation with the program’s local coordinators. There was overwhelming consensus that in light of rising food costs, it is preferable to increase the price rather than reduce the quantity or quality of food included in each box. Maintaining the nutritional value and volume of the boxes remains a top priority for everyone involved.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to ensure the Good Food Box remains a valuable and reliable source of healthy food for households across Grey and Bruce counties.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions to Robin at United Way Bruce Grey - [email protected] or 519-385-5177

Meet Bonnie Cameron, a beloved OSDSS teacher, proudly showing off her Thank An Educator certificate! Fun fact: she was Kristy's grade 10 English teacher! ☺️

Instead of a store-bought “end of school year” gift, say thanks in a way that gives back. Each certificate not only honours an amazing educator, it also fills a backpack with supplies for a local student in need.

📍$20 = Primary
📍$40 = Intermediate
📍$60 = Senior
📍$80 = High School
