Around March we started to buy and deliver groceries to elderly citizens because of Covid-19. That is where the food bank started. After that, we had been getting donations from people from the community around Toronto and on April 6 we began to deliver food to families who couldn’t afford it, or they weren’t able to leave due to specific circumstances because of Covid-19.
Problem
Around March we started to buy and deliver groceries to elderly citizens because of Covid-19. That is where the food bank started. After that, we had been getting donations from people from the community around Toronto and on April 6 we began to deliver food to families who couldn’t afford it, or they weren’t able to leave due to specific circumstances because of Covid-19.
There are millions of people who struggle with hunger, people with high and low incomes.
Solution
So far, we have delivered food to over 150 families across Toronto. We want to continue doing this because we have realized that there are a lot of families that need help and are silently struggling without any means of help.
We want to continue to provide families who are less fortunate because we want them to be able to have food on the table. We want to make sure that the people of our community are safe and healthy, because we are all a community and we are all in this together. We have worked so hard with volunteers and we have been a non-profit organization.
Everything that is being operated is solely voluntary. We have been fortunate enough to have other families as well as individuals donating to our cause so that we can provide these families with food. We provide families with the nutrition that specifically pertains to them. Not every family has the same nutritional needs as another family might have.
We feel that we not only provide meals, but us as volunteers bring hope to these families when we deliver to them. People from all across Ontario are feeling the need to help, have been volunteering and donating.
