What do a sporting goods store, a daycare and an investment firm have in common?
They are all raising money to feed the hungry in our city. TORONTO, Jan. 7 /CNW/ – Over 80 businesses in the GTA have committed to run Lunch Money Day campaigns to help Second Harvest feed the hungry in our city. On February 26th (Lunch Money Day) businesses small and large will be asking employees to pack their lunch for just one day and donate the money they would have spent to Second Harvest instead. Second Harvest will then use that money to pick up fresh food that would otherwise have gone to waste and deliver that food to approximately 250 social service programs in the GTA. Leading the campaign for the third year in a row is the Mackenzie Financial Charitable Foundation, a long-time supporter of Second Harvest. “Food is the most basic of human needs and Second Harvest is right there delivering food to those who are hungry. To be in a position to offer our time and financial support in the fight against hunger is incredibly rewarding,” says Brad Offman, Vice President, Strategic
