Volunteers at a Food Services Meeting

July 2025. monthly impact by program

To our volunteers, donors, and staff—thank you. Because of you, families in our community have food on their tables, heat in their homes, and the support they need to get through tough times.

Food and heat are not luxuries.

​They are the essentials that allow people to live with dignity and hope. Every time you give, show up, or lend a hand, you make it possible for CFN to be there when our neighbours need us most.

​As you read this month’s report, we invite you to see the impact you’re creating—and to get involved in whatever way you can.

​Together, we can keep fueling food, heat, and hope in Haliburton County.
