About The Sussex Sharing Club
Since 1986, the Sussex Sharing Club Food Bank and Thrift Store has brought neighbours together to help neighbours. Serving Sussex and surrounding communities, we work to ease food insecurity and ensure local families and individuals can access the food and support they need.
Bundle up and join us on Saturday, February 27, 2027, as the Sussex Sharing Club hosts its third Coldest Night of the Year walk. Held in communities across Canada, this family-friendly national campaign supports people experiencing hurt, hunger or homelessness. As a food bank, our local focus is hunger. The walk brings our community together to help neighbours access the food and support they need and has become the Sussex Sharing Club’s largest fundraiser. Every walker, team, sponsor and donor helps make it possible.
Net funds raised through our Sussex walk stay right here in our local communities. Your support helps us provide food and practical assistance to neighbours who need it most.
