The Honourable Karina Gould MP is our Canadian member of parliament in the House of Commons of Canada representing the federal electoral district of Burlington. We wanted to thank her and the government for the CERB Program, which has helped so many of our clients (families) directly get through this crisis. The support has been very helpful in alleviating some of the stress for the Food Bank as well.

Karina also helped us out with support for summer students through the Canada Summer Job funding program which allowed us to hire Samantha Zulian. Samantha was a great addition and stood out during the entire summer helping as needed. Karina expressed her thanks to all our volunteers and to the community for donating to keep us going.

They support families in Burlington with CERB, they provide grants from time to time and their summer student job program really helped us out here – Thank you Karina!
