Community Care Response to Sayer Food Town Fire (Please expand for further information) |
|
The Economic Development Co-operative of North Kawartha (EDCNK) met virtually with the Sayers family, the Mayor, Township CAO and various community leaders on Sunday Dec 6, 2020 to begin formulating a community response and action plan to deal with the loss of Sayers Foods, Apsley and North Kawartha’s only grocery store. The immediate outpouring of support from so many has been overwhelming and humbling.
A task force has been created to mobilize volunteers and donations and is gathering information on next steps. Stay tuned for updates.
For residents with immediate food insecurity: please call the North Kawartha Food Bank at: (705) 656-1748 and for any assistance with shopping and/or transportation please call Community Care at (705) 656-4589.

Excerpt from the above attached notice from Community Care:
- The fire at Sayers Food Town in Apsley has left many residents in the Township of North Kawartha, who are without transportation, unable to access food and a supply of regular groceries.
-
Community Care which already offers Meals on Wheels, grocery delivery and transportation support throughout North Kawartha is offering to further subsidize these programs to ensure that all residents who need financial or access help, can get the food supplies they need.
Developments
Community Care’s client services team has been working hard to come up with solutions to aid residents.
Hamilton Bus Lines is donating the gas and driver to provide free bus transportation on Tuesdays and Fridays to Bancroft for residents to purchase their groceries. Pick up spots will be outside the Community Care office in Apsley located at 126 Burleigh Street and North Kawartha Community Centre located at 340 McFadden Rd, starting Friday, December 11th.
“This bus transport is available for all residents at no charge,” said Sarah McCall – Community Care’s Community Development Coordinator in Apsley. “Community Care will coordinate all the scheduling for these drives.”
Community Care’s Caremobile will also be providing transportation every Wednesday for residents at these pick up locations who might require accessible transportation options.
“We will be able to transport people to either Bancroft or Lakefield with the Caremobile, depending on the need,” added McCall.
Volunteer drivers will also be available to accommodate any special requests.
“We will do our best to accommodate any special needs or requests with our volunteer drivers. For people who live outside Apsley, who need help to get to one of the scheduled bus pick up locations, our volunteer drivers will assist by getting people to town,” said McCall. “They have been reaching out to us, wanting to help,” said McCall.
Shopping buddies are ready to help too.
“If someone needs assistance getting their groceries, we have some volunteers who are ready to assist with this too,” added McCall.
Frozen Meals on Wheels options will be made available for anyone with an immediate need.
“We have frozen meals in our freezer and we can make them available to anyone who needs immediate support,” said McCall.
Community Care will act as the hub to coordinate and schedule these free transportation services and access to meals.
