The Barrhaven Santa Clause parade was cancelled due to poor weather last month, but that doesn't mean that the Barrhaven Food Cupboard will miss out.
That's thanks to Mark Cogan, who's set up a food drive on his own front lawn.
Cogan says it was a big loss for the local food bank when the parade was cancelled.
"Not being able to get the contribution is obviously a big loss," he says. "But that being said, it seems that . . . there's a lot of businesses rallying around this and using it as an opportunity to fill the cupboards back up."
From 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday, you can drop off a non-perishable food donation at 39 Marabrooke Avenue.
