It's cold out there. And once again this year the Toronto Snowflakes are going to make a difference. But we can't do it without you. Last year we thought the need couldn't get much worse, but this summer we hit an all-time high of 5,500 clients served. On my first Tuesday shift after the holidays, we were going non-stop. We had 1,577 clients in a single day!
I don't need to tell you that food and housing have become much more expensive, driving the need at all GTA food banks. FYFB does not receive any government funding, but through the generosity of individuals and corporate groups, we have been able to purchase over $700,000 in food in addition to what we receive from Daily Bread.
I would like to ask you to join my team and raise money through peer-to-peer fundraising. Ask a few friends and family and you're there. And the walk itself couldn't be easier - 5 km on Saturday, February 22 at 5 pm. And even if you can't make it at our location, you can walk the 5 km anywhere in the world!
If you decide not to join and fundraise then, please give generously by clicking the "Donate Now" button above. Thanks!
