Spring Food Drive Results
Thank you Toronto!
Your generosity helped us raise $216,000 and 459,000 pounds of food. Thank you also to our friends in the media who helped us get the message out to our supporters and to Citytv for their successful full day drive on April 8th.
With the economic downturn, food banks across the city have seen a 15 - 20 % rise in visits, so we need your on-going support to continue getting food to the people who need it. If you missed your chance to give during the Spring Drive, read on to see how you can support us today.
It’s not too late for your school or organization to run a successful food or fund drive. Your help will allow Daily Bread Food Bank to get food to those who need it most, while continuing its important work in providing advocacy, conducting research and public education. Talk to your teacher today.
