Fort Erie Food Drive

On Saturday March 26th we canvassed the Crescent Park area in Fort Erie to collect non-perishable food for the Salvation Army Food Bank. We are proud to annouce that we collected 303 food items from the local community! Many thanks to those who donated their goods to help a truly wonderful cause.

We are still accepting food donations and Canadian Tire money at our booth at Niagara College’s Spring Showcase ‘In Your Backyard‘. Be sure to check us out and all the fanatstic booths displayed at In Your Backyard.

Many thanks!  : )

Food Drive!

The Many Hands Project is hoping to stock the newly built food bank shelves!
Help us fill the shelves by bringing unexpired non-perishable food items to HT038 between  March 21st and April 6th! We’ll be collecting from neighbourhoods in Fort Erie on March 26th.

Additionally, we will be collecting non-perishable foods, Canadian Tire money and spare change on April 2nd and 3rd at ‘In Your Backyard’  - Niagara College’s Spring Showcase. Visit our booth and experience what Niagara College has to offer!

Many thanks!  : )

Less than a Month to Go!

Currently, we are still looking for donations of materials and supplies. Please visit our Materials Needed page to see if you have anything we could use!

Pepsi Refresh Voting is Now Over

Well everyone, voting for the Pepsi Refresh Project is now over. Unfortunately, we did not place within the top 3 and thus did not recieve any of the funding from Pepsi.

We would like to thank everyone who voted like crazy for us – we successfully rose to 18th place at our finest, and ended in the 20th spot!

Our hope is that the projects to follow ours will take full advantage of similar opportunities to increase their impact in the community.

Many thanks! : )
