You are being encouraged to play the match game with Lionhearts.
For their Big Hearts Big Impact fundraising campaign, every dollar donated to Lionhearts until November 8 will be matched up to $70,000.
This is due to the generosity of seven donors and organizations: the Estate of Dr. Tony Ashworth, Britton Smith Foundation, Revell Ford & Revell Lincoln, Janet Lee, Kids 4 Kids, the Ritchie Fund, and the Rotary Club of Kingston.
Director of Storytelling and Media Bill Welychka says this is an opportunity for residents to stretch their charitable dollars.
Lionhearts recovers and redistributes food and essential goods across KFL&A while providing programs that support people experiencing food insecurity, homelessness and other significant challenges.
Welychka says many of those who have donated were themselves beneficiaries of Lionhearts.
Lionhearts managed to recover and redistribute around 1.7 million pounds of food and essential goods in 2025 through a network of more than 200 partner agencies and organizations, including the Morningstar Mission in Greater Napanee.
Welychka believes these success stories will encourage people to donate to Lionhearts.
