Letter from Daily Bread Food Bank
Hello ,
My name is Laura from the Daily Bread Food Bank, and I’m reaching out because we need YOUR help to fight hunger this Thanksgiving season!
Although COVID restrictions have been lifted and life is slowly returning to a new norm, rising food, gas and housing costs are leaving many people in Toronto in a state of crisis. Over the past year, there were 1.45 million visits to food banks across the Toronto – the highest number ever recorded in the city’s history. And just this past June, we set a single-month record, with 171,000 client visits.
Your help is critical to help ensure that individuals and families experiencing hunger across the city can continue to access fresh, nutritious food this fall and winter.
We’re looking for people like you to rally their neighbours to help us collect 336,000 lbs of food and raise $3 million for our Thanksgiving Drive. Whether you organize a food drive or start an online fundraiser (or both!), we’ll provide you with the tools, information, and support you need to run a successful campaign.
Do you have what it takes to become a Community Champion this Thanksgiving?
Visit our website at www.dailybread.ca/communitychampion to register today.
Questions? Contact my colleague Michelle at MSilva@dailybread.ca or 647-951-8218.
Thank you for your support.
Laura
