Annual Rotary Brockville Harvest Sharing Food Drive
The Annual Rotary Brockville Harvest Sharing Food Drive is a major Thanksgiving-time fundraiser by the Rotary Club of Brockville and the Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands.
The food drive collects food and funds for the Brockville and Area Food Bank, with the recent 2025 drive seeing massive support, $18,000 in cash donations and collecting 9,580 lbs of food donations to combat rising food insecurity in the community.
They accept items like canned goods, peanut butter, and powdered milk, alongside monetary gifts.
Each month, the local food bank sees over 1,830 and rising Brockville & Area residents assisted by the food bank. 38% of those assisted are children, and 12% are seniors.
The Brockville and Area Food Bank reported 21,537 visits in 2024, a total that included 5,519 visits by or on behalf of children; it notes the food bank serves approximately one in 13 area residents, and projects over 22,000 visits this year.
