Decade long food drive closes 2024 on high note [Video]

Volunteers spent Tuesday unloading truckloads of food from this year’s CKNX Relief Food Drive. It’s the tenth year for the ever-important food and fund raiser for the North Huron Community Food Share, Salvation Army Wingham, Huron County Food Distribution Centre, and Walkerton Food Bank.

“This is our biggest food drive. It is the one we put the most work into, and it is the one that provides for us the rest of this year,” said Relief Truck organizer and North Huron Food Share Coordinator, Roxane Nicholson.
