Spring Drive
It’s already that time of year again – our annual Spring Drive! So far, we’ve raised $75,000 and 25,000 pounds of food. The Spring Drive ends on April 13th, which means we have two weeks to reach our goals of $300,000 and 300,000 pounds of food! Every month, we send out almost a million pounds of food to food banks, community food centres and meal programs to help feed people across Toronto who are struggling with hunger and poverty. The donations from the Spring Drive will help fill our shelves and make the difference in thousands of lives across the city.
Thirty-six percent of those coming to food banks are children, and that is unacceptable. Help us make a difference in their lives by donating today to the Spring Drive. You can donate online today or drop off nutritious, non-perishable food to your local fire hall and select grocery stores across the city. View our on-going drop-off locations.
