The Haliburton ATV Association made a $10,000 donation to the Minden Community Food Centre Jan. 14, proceeds raised during the group’s 2025 riding season.
Group director, Joel Bocknek, said the association hosted several guided rides across the County last year, raising money through donations and sales of mapbooks and trail passes.
“In this period of escalating living expenses and soaring food costs, too many people within our local community have become dependent on using the Minden Community Food Centre,” Bocknek said.
“Our donation will assist them in meeting the needs of the community.” Food bank manager, Jean Munroe, said the money will directly support the purchase of nutritious food for local families.
“We are grateful for this remarkable gift… the Haliburton ATV Association’s support will have an immediate impact on families who rely on us,” she said.
“Partnerships like this remind us that we’re working toward the same goal – making sure everyone in Minden feels supported.” The facility supports more than 320 families per month.
