City Wide Food Drive OVERVIEW

Between the rising cost of living and inadequate income support, more folks are struggling to make ends meet … as inflation slows, the cost of food continues to increase. This is why the City Wide Food Drive was created.

With growing grocery bills, we’re seeing more demand, as a result, usage of our Emergency Nutrition program has increased by 35% this year, and almost half of those city wide clients are children.

Often, all it takes to an unexpected bill or time off work that put people in a position where they have to make tough decisions. Imagine having to decide between calling in sick from work or being able to afford groceries for the next few days. Our Emergency Food Hampers provide 2-3 days worth of food, which mean you won’t have to make that choice. #citywidefooddrive
