EMSA Kicks Hunger Campaign
October 31, 2024

The Elgin Middlesex Soccer Association is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the second annual “EMSA Kicks Hunger Campaign” commencing November 1, 2024 and running until November 30, 2024.

We need only look at the news to know the stress that the rising cost of food and housing has placed on many families across our area.  The Middlesex London Health Unit reports that in London and Middlesex, an estimated 1 in 6 households are food insecure.   Households in our community are not immune to this problem and food insecurity has an effect on the physical, mental and social health of a family. Everyone in our community should have access to a nutritious and adequate diet.

As a part of this community, we know that we can assist our local food bank as they navigate the increased demand for their services.  If you are able to donate, we ask that you please drop off non-perishable food items to the BMO Centre, to assist with our campaign. 

Last years’ campaign raised 250 Lbs of food and a $500.00 donation which was a wonderful result.  Let’s try to top that this year!

Donations can be dropped off to the Donation Boxes which will be located at the BMO Centre outside of field 5 and upstairs outside of the EMSA Office, commencing November 1, 2024.  On December 1, 2024, all donations will be delivered to the London Food Bank.  We will then notify our membership of the number of pounds of food that we collectively donated.

We thank you in advance for supporting our community and this important campaign.
