The LʼOrignal Firefighters Association, with the LʼOrignal Food Bank and the Knights of Columbus of LʼOrignal, is pleased to announce the 2026 edition of the LʼOrignal Food Drive, an annual community initiative that supports individuals and families in the area during the holiday season.
Residents are invited to contribute by donating non-perishable food items or making a monetary
donation. Every contribution helps support the work of the LʼOrignal Food Bank and assists local families during the holiday season.
