Redeemer's 2016 Thanksgiving Food Drive is Here

Announcing Change in a Can​, Redeemer's 2016 Thanksgiving Food Drive! We are so excited to be kicking off this year's food drive, which runs from now through October 8. Our goal this year is to collect 500 cans.

As with previous years, we will be donating these cans to the Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA). With your help, the ACSA will distribute these cans to those in the local community in need. To learn more about ACSA and their mission, please visit their website at agincourtcommunityservices.com.

Where to Drop Off Your Cans

You can bring cans to the CO on Saturdays, and to Mary Ward LINC on Sundays.
