Acadia Pantry April Pledge Drive

Did you know that Acadia has a high number  of residents living below the poverty line?

Every month since April 2019, the Acadia Food Pantry has provided free food to anyone experiencing food insecurity in our community. In 2021, the Pantry served an average of 110 people each month. With increasing inflation, more and more of our neighbours are finding it difficult to afford food for their families. In March of this year, the Pantry served 53 households for a total of 151 people. 

As a volunteer organization supported by residents of Acadia as well as Christ Moravian Church, Lutheran Church of Our Saviour and McDougall United Church, the Pantry depends fully on donations to operate. 100% of every donation is used to buy food and supplies and donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. 

SUSTAINERS ARE NEEDED: Will you be one of 50 donors willing to pledge $20 per month to help the Acadia Food Pantry continue its valuable work? 

During the month of April, the Pantry is asking for your financial help to continue offering essential food support to families in need. To make a one-time donation or to give monthly, go to www.mcdunited.com/donate. Donations may be made by credit card, e-Transfer, or cheque. For credit card donations, look for the Acadia Food Pantry name under “To,” and for cheques and e-Transfers write “Acadia Food Pantry” in the message/memo along with your name and address for tax receipt purposes.
