The Wawa Community Food Bank has again cancelled a major holiday season fundraiser.
Citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and current provincial guidelines, volunteers with the local food bank says they've made the "difficult decision" to cancel this year's "Feed the Need" event, which is traditionally in November - the organization does note hopes to hold an event in the spring.
One of the organization's largest fundraising events, last year's "Feed the Need" was also cancelled due to the pandemic.
This does, however, come just days before the end of the October-long "Northern Lights Ford Scares Hunger" campaign, which accepts non-perishable food and other donations for the food bank at the local dealership.
