Introducing Ken Plata, a Lifetime Member Volunteer with the Burlington Foodbank. He’s an absolute delight and we all love him so much. Ken has been here 15 years – he is one of our truck drivers who manages pick-ups. He stopped by the Urban Farm yesterday to pickup some early produce – everyone is welcome to drop off donations there every Tuesday between 9am and 10am and Ken will be there to pick up anything. Also, every Sunday night he stops by Cobbs Bread with his wife Mary to pick up bread that is unsold – that they are donating to the food bank. We get that out to families asap Mondays. Ken calls it his date-night 🙂 – we are so lucky to have people like Ken helping us out. Thank you for all you do Ken.

If you are in need or know of someone who could use our help, PLEASE have them email us at info@burlingtonfoodbank.ca or call 905-637-2273 to make arrangements to have food dropped at their door or make arrangements to pick it up through our curb-side pickup option. If you are a resident in Burlington, we are all here to help. Don’t struggle – give us a call.
