Media Release - NOTL Gives Back Returns this Season

Teaming up with community partners, Niagara-on-the-Lake Minor Hockey Association, Revel Realty and Team MAC Inc, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is once again preparing for NOTL Gives Back, an event to collect donations for various vital support programs within our municipality and beyond.

NOTL Gives Back will take place Saturday, November 26, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Mary Snider Room at the Meridian Credit Union Arena (1567 Four Mile Creek Road, Virgil).

As we enter the season of giving, the Town invites residents to donate new or gently used clothing, non-perishable food items, and toys. Donated food and clothing will support Newark Neighbours' Christmas Food Hamper and Gift program, while toys will be donated to McMaster Sick Kids.

“NOTL Gives Back has become a fabulous annual event that we are proud to offer year after year,” stated Lord Mayor Betty Disero. “A special thank you to the Niagara-on-the-Lake Minor Hockey Association, Revel Realty and Team MAC Inc for partnering with the Town to host the event this year. Niagara-on-the-Lake is lucky to have many wonderful community partners eager to promote a spirit of generosity, especially during the holiday season.”

"The kindness and thoughtfulness of our community is truly demonstrated in this season of giving," stated CAO Marnie Cluckie. "Niagara-on-the-Lake's residents always come together at this time of year to support our community and others. I am confident that this year's event will again be filled with an abundance of generosity, allowing us to make a difference for individuals and families in need."

Those donating new and gently used clothing are asked to please identify which items are new and gently used. Participants are encouraged to come dressed in festive wear to help get everyone in the holiday spirit!

For more information, please visit www.notl.com/recreation-events/community-initiatives-events. Anyone who wishes to donate but is unable to donate during the event is invited to participate by dropping donations off in advance. Donations can be dropped off at Revel Realty (1596 Four Mile Creek Road, Virgil) and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre (14 Anderson Lane, Niagara-on-the-Lake), beginning Monday, November 14, during regular operating hours.
