Great Holiday Food Drive
97.7 HTZ-FM feels the need — the need to feed! With our Annual Great Holiday Food Drive! We’re spreading the holiday cheer by supporting all Feed Ontario designated food banks in Niagara!
On December 8th, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food items and cash donations all day at Market Square in St. Catharines, in support of Community Care St. Catharines and Thorold.
Your generosity over the Holiday Season will help many families in our community by giving them the opportunity to have a Christmas dinner, warm beds, and presents to enjoy! Help us create holiday magic and spread joy this season.
Let’s stuff the buses and help families in need!
In recent years, many in our community are facing challenges they never imagined possible. Job insecurity, the inability to provide basic needs for family, and having to make choices between paying rent or feeding children. This year we are spreading holiday joy across all of Niagara. Every donation is important, every dollar matters – With your help we can make sure every child experiences some holiday magic and no one goes hungry.
Join us at the St. Catharines Market Square on Friday, December 8 from 6am until 6pm to hear live updates on the Holiday Express’s travels through the city, grab some coffee/tea/hot cocoa and lunch with us and enjoy the afternoon! Other features at the market will include:
- Accoustic musicians playing a mix of festive classics and originals – Emma Whale 2 – 4pm and Amanda Lyn Parker 4 – 6pm
- Holiday mini session with local photographer, Jessica Bishop – offering 1 digital image by donation (minimum $10) 2 – 6pm
