This past weekend
The Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service hosted its annual “Stuff-A-Truck” event in Brockville, and local generosity was on full display. Residents donated over 800 items, including food, clothing, and hygiene products, along with $5,000 in cash donations.
The event aims to support families in need during the holiday season, helping local organizations like the Salvation Army provide essential items to the community. Organizers thanked residents for their contributions and said every donation, large or small, makes a difference.
Leeds Grenville Paramedics have held similar events in Kemptville, collecting toys, food, and cash for families facing increased pressure during the holidays. The Brockville event continued that tradition, giving the community an opportunity to give back.
The paramedic service encourages anyone who missed the event to support local charities and help ensure families in the area have a brighter holiday season.
