Auxiliary members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) across the province will unite on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for Operation Full Plate, a one-day food drive aimed at supporting local food banks and helping address food insecurity in communities across Ontario.
Serving communities has been at the heart of the OPP Auxiliary Program for more than 65 years. Operation Full Plate builds on that tradition of service by bringing Auxiliary members and the communities they serve together to support local food banks and help address food insecurity challenges affecting people in every region of Ontario.
Members of the public are encouraged to support Operation Full Plate by donating non-perishable food items and other essential goods at participating community collection locations on Saturday, October 3.
In Hawkesbury, the drop-off location is the Food Basics supermarket on Tupper Street. In Embrun, the drop-off location is the Your Independent Grocer supermarket at 735 Notre Dame Street. For more drop-off locations, visit opp.ca/fullplate.
Every donation, no matter the size, can make a difference. Together, we can help stock local food banks, support those experiencing food insecurity and strengthen our communities.
