🚲 Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲

Whether you ride for fun, fitness, fresh air, or because parking downtown is… an adventure 😄

Today is all about celebrating the simple joy of two wheels.

Fun fact: bikes also help build a healthier, greener, and more well nourished community 💛

Now tell us… road bike, mountain bike, or “I haven’t ridden since I was 12”? 👇😉

Did you know? At the food bank, many non-perishable foods can still be safely distributed up to 1 year past their best before date 💛

Here’s the important part: a “best before” date is not the same thing as an expiry date.

For canned and shelf-stable foods, best before dates are often about peak freshness or texture...not food safety. In fact, studies have shown that many unopened canned goods remain perfectly safe to consume well beyond that date when stored properly.

That means less food waste, more food rescued, and more meals for local families.

So next time you’re cleaning out your pantry, don’t automatically toss those canned goods! Check them over for damage, rust, swelling, or broken seals and if they’re still in good condition, they may still be able to help feed a neighbour in need.

One can really can make a difference 💛

🥛 Happy World Milk Day! 🥛

Today we’re raising a glass to one of the most requested items at the food bank 💙

From cereal before school to coffee in the morning, milk is one of those everyday essentials that helps keep families going.

And fun fact… fresh milk disappears around here fast 😄

Here’s to strong bones, happy coffee drinkers, and building a well nourished community together 🥛💛

What if the care you show today… could last for generations?

Legacy giving is one of the most powerful ways to make that happen.

It’s not about wealth.
It’s about intention.

A simple decision can help ensure that families in our community continue to have access to healthy food, compassion, and dignity for years to come.

At the Orangeville Food Bank?Dufferin Food Share Grand Valley, this is how we continue building a well nourished community.

There are many ways to leave a legacy.
Each one is a chance to turn today’s kindness into tomorrow’s stability.

Your legacy has the power to create lasting change.
