Media Advisory United Way & 3M Canada Host Heartwarming Harvest Lunches, launching September 12th Lunch aims to provide 2,000 lunches to neighbours in need

Brockville, ON.

As dedicated advocates for community well-being, 3M Canada and United Way Leeds & Grenville are excited to announce the upcoming series of 3M Harvest Lunch events, initiatives aimed at providing a wholesome meal to those experiencing food insecurity within our community.

From September 12th to October 3rd, the 3M Harvest Lunch Team will work with several United Way agencies to host events across Leeds & Grenville to serve and deliver lunches provided by local businesses. As we embrace the bountiful harvest season, we recognize the importance of coming together to support our neighbours and the 3M Harvest Lunch is a heartfelt effort to provide nourishing food, foster connections, and raise awareness about food insecurity.

We are asking our community to show their local love and purchase a meal: Every $10 ticket sold buys a meal for a neighbour in need in Leeds & Grenville. Tickets can be purchased as a single, a family or in a pack of 10 meals. Visit our square site to purchase today: https://united-way-leeds-grenville.square.site/

Note: a tax receipt will be provided.

We extend our gratitude to our event partners for their generous support in making this event possible. Together, we can sow the seeds of change and cultivate a more nourished and connected community. Your local love maximizes the impact of the dedicated volunteers, local businesses, and community members who make the 3M Harvest Lunch a positive impact.
