Did you know that the number of food insecure individuals in Canada has nearly doubled since 2018? Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent economic downturn, today there’s close to a staggering 9 million food insecure men, women and children nationwide. That amounts to more than 1 in 7 Canadians; this could easily be a close friend, a colleague, a neighbour, or a loved one.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with B12Give and Clean Plates Canada to develop the Feeding Families Campaign. We’re on a mission to address the issue of hunger in the GTA by delivering healthy and nourishing meals directly (and safely) to households suffering from food insecurity right here in the city we call home.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 before Friday, December 18, 2020, to ensure at least 125 families have nutritious and lovingly prepared meals to enjoy this holiday season. Our first deliveries will dispatch during the week of December 20, 2020.

But we won’t stop there! As you can see, our long-term goal is to raise $25,000. With that amount, Feeding Families will be able to prepare and deliver 2,500 meals to food insecure households across the GTA in the new year.

This is an ongoing issue demanding ongoing action, so the more we raise, the more families we’ll feed.

Our hope is that 625 gracious donors will donate $40 to our campaign, or 1,000 supporters will donate $25, or 2,500 generous souls will donate $10, to help us reach our goal. Regardless of the amount, all donations make an impact.

100% of contributions will be allocated to the direct purchase, preparation and delivery of our Feeding Families packages. We plan to keep this initiative ongoing for as long as we can.

And if you are unable to help monetarily, you can still play a vital role in this campaign by taking to the internet and sharing the GoFundMe page or posting to social media!

Let’s start Feeding Families in the GTA!
We can make it happen, but we’ll have to work together to do it.
