The second 12 days of an advent calendar, with essential and fun items

Each advent we do a #reverseadvent calendar, where we countdown by adding an item to a box for the shelter, dropping it in for Christmas. It’s a great way to countdown without the chocolate, or plastic, while helping others.

It’s that time! #ReverseAdvent for Kawartha Food Share. This is year 8 for our family.
Sadly the need is even greater this year. Below is a calendar for anyone to follow. #SeasonOfHope #Ptbo

During Harvest we're also looking forward to Christmas. Food banks are struggling under the weight of persistent and deepening poverty. We are collecting for our 2025 #ReverseAdvent Calendar between November 1st and 30th 2025. 

Thank you for your continued support. #TeamHandH

Yesterday my #community gathered and stored over a hundred crates and boxes of food and gifts for our local food banks in our 9th annual #ReverseAdvent. I am both proud of the community spirit and ashamed that food banks are even a necessary thing. 😳
