The L’Orignal Firefighters Association, in collaboration with the L’Orignal Food Bank and the Knights of Columbus of L’Orignal, announce the return of the annual L’Orignal Food Drive, a vital community initiative that helps support families in need during the holiday season. Residents are invited to donate non-perishable food items or make monetary contributions to help ensure that all members of our community can enjoy a more comfortable and nourishing holiday period.

Each year, many families in L’Orignal and the surrounding area face significant financial pressures, especially as the holidays approach. By participating in the Food Drive, residents play a direct role in providing complete food baskets and essential assistance to individuals and families who rely on community support. Even a small gesture can make a meaningful difference.
