The Chatham-Kent ATV Club is gearing up for an ambitious weekend food drive with aspirations to exceed their previous donation records. Scheduled for mid-November 2025, the event represents one of the region's most significant community support initiatives.
Building on Past Success
According to organizer Vince Masse, the club has been preparing for months to ensure this year's food drive surpasses all previous efforts. The event will take place on November 14-15, 2025, with ATV enthusiasts from across the region expected to participate in collecting non-perishable food items for local families facing food insecurity.
The club has established multiple collection points throughout Chatham-Kent, making it convenient for residents to contribute. Volunteers will be stationed at strategic locations to receive donations from community members who want to support this vital cause.
Community Impact and Participation
Last year's food drive collected an impressive amount of donations that supported numerous families throughout the winter months. This year, organizers have set even higher targets, recognizing the growing need within the community.
Local businesses have stepped up as sponsors, providing additional resources and collection points. The ATV club members emphasize that this initiative goes beyond their recreational activities, demonstrating their commitment to giving back to the community that supports them.
How to Get Involved
Residents interested in contributing can drop off non-perishable food items at designated collection points throughout the weekend. The club particularly seeks items like canned goods, pasta, rice, and other shelf-stable products that can help families prepare nutritious meals.
For those unable to attend the weekend event, alternative donation arrangements can be made through the club's social media channels. The final collection results will be announced early next week, with organizers confident they can set a new record for community generosity.
