We need your summer clothes!

We've finally reached a (fairly) consistent +10° in Waterloo Region, hallelujah!

After a long winter gratefully accepting your preowned winter coats and other cold weather gear, FoodLove is now ready to switch gears and start begging asking for your preowned summer gear.

While we have some clothes left from last year, our summer wardrobe is looking a little bare, especially in the kids area.

We are currently in need of lighter clothing for kids (and adults!) of all ages but especially ranging from kid sizes 4 (m/f) to size 10 (m/f).

You know it's time to clean out those drawers so why not give us a call or email us at foodlovekw@gmail.com to arrange for a pickup of clothes that'll make a huge difference to a local family this summer!



** All clothing from the FoodLove Clothing Closet is provided free of charge to area families and shelters in need. To find out more about FoodLove and our services, please visit our website. Thank you for your consistent generosity Waterloo Region, we are proud to make your random acts of kindness come together to make a big impact!

Meet the new FoodLove KW team!

What exciting news I have to share today! Last summer, I started approaching some amazing local folks  about joining the yet to be formed FoodLove executive committee. With FoodLove growing larger and even bigger plans in the works, it was definitely time to have some people dedicated to backing me up and helping me make some important decisions.

This January, Kari Thompson and Greg Huber joined the team. Kari is a lifelong friend of mine who works in the not for profit sector and Greg is a new friend, a tradesperson who's ready to lend us (me) his considerable business sense and bring FoodLove to new heights.

Both Kari and Greg started tweeting from the FoodLove twitter account over a month ago and are putting in big hours building our new and improved clothing closet, a financial plan and just a wee bit more structure to my little ragtag operation. Please join me in sharing a big group hug with these new folks and saying THANK YOU, for helping FoodLove become a force to be reckoned with in KW!

Much Love, 

Melissa
