Lake of Bays Fire Rescue brings back annual Project Porchlight food drive

Lake of Bays Fire Rescue is back to support the community with its annual Project Porchlight Food Drive.

The event takes place December 2, beginning at 6 p.m., with fire trucks and volunteers travelling designated routes throughout the Township of Lake of Bays to collect non-perishable food donations.

All donations will go towards the Lake of Bays Winter Pantry, with any overflow supporting the Table Soup Kitchen in Huntsville.

“Lake of Bays Fire Rescue is proud to participate in initiatives that directly support our community,” said Jeremy Alldred-Hughes, Fire Chief of Lake of Bays Fire Rescue. “Our firefighters are looking forward to getting into the community again this year.”

Residents along the collection route can turn on their porchlights and leave food donations on their porch or at the end of their driveway for volunteers to collect.

Alternatively, residents can drop off their donations at Lake of Bays Fire Rescue Stations in Dwight, Hillside and Baysville between 12 and 8 p.m. on December 2.

Firefighters are also inviting community members and organizations to volunteer during the evening to help collect and receive donations.

More information, including a full list of collection routes, can be found here.
