​Kincardine Community Living receives donations for local programs

Community Living of Kincardine and District has gratefully received financial support for a couple of its local programs.

Knox Presbyterian Church in Kincardine has been a valued partner with Community Living over the years, providing accessible space for activities, such as the “Baby and Me” gross motor and movement program and youth cooking/baking groups.

The church is also home to the Kincardine Good Food Box, a program that brings affordable, nutritious, fresh produce to Kincardine for a more affordable price.

In celebration of the church’s 175th anniversary, the congregation has donated 50 Good Food Box tokens to Community Living to provide supported individuals and families access to fresh produce.

One family, supported by Community Living, said this about the program: “The children really enjoy having the fresh fruit, especially the strawberries and bananas. Having the Good Food Box helps with the cost of groceries, we really appreciate that too.”
