North 60 Food Drive

In cooperation with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), St. Justin Martyr Parish is participating in the North 60 Initiative to collect food for the community of Taloyoak in Nunavut. Taloyoak is the most northern community in mainland Canada and is only accessible by air and an annual sea container delivery. Food prices in communities north of the 60th parallel are exorbitant and these communities depend on help for their winter food supplies.

This year, we are collecting:   5 and 10 lb. bags of Flour, Baking powder, Salt, Sugar, Lard, and Dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, apricots, figs, dates, prunes, etc.).

If you wish to bring in items, kindly look for longer expiry dates and drop them in the Food Basket near the Tree of Life in the Church foyer. Kindly help us ensure that what we provide is useful for the needy.

Thank you for your generosity.
