The 21st edition of the Fare for Friends brought in $86,000 for the local United Way on Sunday.

The garden party at the Vimy’s Officers Mess at Canadian Forces Base Kingston event featured food items from two dozen restaurants along with 13 wineries and breweries, which about 350 patrons had a chance to sample.

Money is raised from ticket sales as well as the silent and live auctions.

In its existence, the event has raised more than $1 million for the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington United Way.

This year’s campaign will officially begin on Friday morning at the United Way Kick Off Breakfast at the Ambassador Conference Resort, where they will announce their fundraising goal for the year.

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.

We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
