Here's how you can take part in CBC Kitchener-Waterloo's Sounds of the Season this year

Sounds of the Season is our annual holiday fundraiser in support of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region. Our goal is to raise money, donations and awareness for those facing food insecurity in Kitchener-Waterloo.

According to Feed Ontario's 2022 Hunger Report, over 587,000 people accessed food banks in Ontario between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, visiting over 4.3 million times. Ontario Foods also saw a 15% increase in the number of visits over the previous year. 1 out of every 3 visitors was a first-time user, meaning they had never needed support from food banks untilthis year.

Throughout this month-long campaign, we take time to tell the stories of those in need in our community and highlight the people and organizations working to help those impacted by food insecurity.

Tune in to CBCK-W's on-air programs and digital sites during December to learn about food insecurity in Kitchener-Waterlooand how you can help make the season kind for our neighbours experiencing hunger.

In 2021, you helped us raise over $113,000. Thank you for your generous support of CBC Sounds of the Season!
