Great News! An outdoor food bank is now open at the Seagrave United Church, between the two east entrances to the church, for the community of Seagrave. Food will be placed out each morning and taken in each evening. The table will not be monitored during the day. They will provide hand sanitizer for your use. We ask that you please keep a physical distance. We will donate any excess food to Operation Scugog. Take what you need. Give what you can. Happy Birthday wishes to Brett Puckrin on the 17th, Irene Sutch on the 25th.
