They refer to it as the Hawthorne Community – made up of Hawthorne Dr., Juniper, Concord and Treminere.
Friday night the results of two weeks of local advertising using social media and whatever else was available to tell their neighbours about a local food drive.
Ward 4 Public School Board Trustee, Margo Shuttleworth, and her husband along with neighbours Colin and Trish Duncan called it a – ‘Hawthorne area light up the night’ event.
The community just showed up – with close to 3000 lbs of food.
It worked. The community brought in 2496 pounds of food items and $200 in cash.- people just came – dropped food off and went back to their homes.
It was silent and it was successful. Burlington’s communities at their very best.
They light up the street – did hydro know about this?
Filled the garage as well as the front lawn.
How many people took part. “No idea”, said Shuttleworth, who called the event super successful.
