The drive into town is something Pefferlaw’s residents know well — especially those who’ve had to make it just to put food on the table.

At a town council meeting on Sept. 16, it was announced that the Georgina Food Pantry and other community partners have been working together to bring forward a new Pefferlaw Food Hub. The initiative is a collaboration with ClearWater Farm, the Pefferlaw Lions Club, the York Region Food Network and Georgina’s public libraries.
