Orillia Community Fridge Official Opening
The official opening of the Orillia Community Fridge took place on Sunday Feb 2, 2025 at St. Paul's Orillia. Thanks to the community members and community builders who joined us to celebrate this good news story! We are so grateful for our volunteers, donors, businesses, and food partners.
This small project with a big heart is making an impact. People in need now have 24/7 access to fresh food and pantry items, without stigma. Thank you, Orillia!
