Weekend events in Hamilton November 17-18, 2018

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Look no further. We’ve found a wide range of events in Hamilton for all ages and interests to enjoy.

Here’s what’s happening in the city this weekend.

Stuff the Bus Food Drive

When: Saturday November 17, 2018 from 9 am to 4 pm
Where: Sobeys Ancaster
Admission: Free

Hamilton’s food banks are continuing to face an unfortunate shortage. To keep up with the city’s on-going demand for goods, let’s give back by participating in Neighbour to Neighbour’s Stuff the Bus food drive.

Taking place at Sobeys in the Meadowlands, help completely fill a school bus with donated non-perishable food items. In previous years, this campaign has brought in over 33,000 pounds in food donations. If we work together, we can surely top that number before the holiday season starts. When donating, please make sure your goods are non-perishable.

Woolcott Team 4th Annual Coat Drive

When: Saturday November 17, 2018 from 10 am to 12 pm
Where:  Waterdown Shopping Centre
Admission: Free

As the temperature begins to drop it’s our duty to make sure our fellow Hamiltonians stay warm.

The Woolcott Team will be on hand this weekend to accept donations of new or gently used coats, hats, mittens and kitchen supplies – all items in which The Good Shepherd Centre needs.

All supporters will be treated to coffee, hot chocolate and treats.
