A 12-year-old boy from Orangeville is making a massive impact on food banks both locally and around the globe.
Through Jaylen Padayachee’s “Food Bank Street Challenge,” where kids collect donations from a designated street, over 30,000 lbs of non-perishable food has been donated to food banks since November, far exceeding his goal of 25,000 lbs.
The Orangeville Food Bank alone has received 17,000 lbs from the community.
Over 120 different streets have had food collected from them to support the challenge, including over 50 in Orangeville, and a single street in Toronto generated 5,000 lbs of food over two days, while the highest total from a local street was 905 lbs at Sandringham Circle.

Research shows when people engage in acts of kindness it has a ripple effect and a local 12-year-old boy learned this firsthand through his Food Bank Street Challenge.
Jaylen Padayachee, with the help of his father Koven and his six-year-old sister Isabella, sent out letters to all the houses on his street, notifying them that he’s collecting non-perishable food for the Orangeville Food Bank and he ended up with over 300 lbs.
“Once we found out how much food we collected, we thought if everyone in Orangeville did this, we would be able to get a lot of food for people that are struggling at this time,” said Jaylen.
