The town is looking for your help to restock the shelves of the Newmarket Food Pantry.

The municipality is hosting its annual fall food drive and will be collecting donations until Oct. 7 at its offices at 395 Mulock Dr.

“Your contributions to the Newmarket Food Pantry are greatly appreciated," the municipality said. 

The food bank is seeking specific items that are of more urgent need. This includes side dishes, nutritious school snacks, canned soup, toiletries, baby food, peanut butter and jam. Pasta, cereal and size six diapers are also in need, according to the Newmarket Food Pantry.

The organization also accepts monetary donations. You can submit those at newmarketfoodpantry.ca/donate.

Items can be dropped off at the municipal offices during regular hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
