Busines came through
On behalf of the Business Cares food drive committee, I would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to the London community for helping us raise an astonishing 271,000 kilograms of food for the London Food Bank.
This is a 34 per cent increase over last year. We set no goal for our 21st year, not wanting to put any pressure on the community or our committee during the pandemic. We asked for businesses and people to donate, but only if they were able.
The food collected the past month from more than 500 businesses, their employees and the community will satisfy the needs of the food bank and 28 other social agencies and programs throughout the winter.
