You best get to loading your non-perishable food and gently used clothing items into your car because Niagara-on-the-Lake is giving back.

The town is once again hosting its NOTL Gives Back program to collect donations to be distributed across the region through Newark Neighbours, Community Care and the Mobile Closet.

“I am so excited for the return of this wonderful event that benefits so many in our community,” Lord Mayor Betty Disero said in a news release.

“I encourage everyone to consider making a donation, no matter how big or small. These items make all the difference for individuals and families in need.”

Items can be donated in a drive-thru format at Newark Neighbours on John Street on Dec. 10, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Anyone who is unable to donate during that time can bring items in advance to the NOTL Community Centre on Anderson Lane. Donation bins are already set up outside.

Requested items include non-perishable food, new and gently used clothing, warm winter coats, scarves, mittens, or toys, the news release said.
