Sometimes we advocate for our clients just on an individual basis. A while back Robin was helping out one of our clients and their family by learning as much as he could and working with them to understand they had much more going for them than they thought at the time. Today we received a message from them letting us know that they started a new business and have since moved to London Ontario and are doing really well. They just wanted to say thanks to the Food Bank for being there when they were in need of support. The work Robin did helped them feel better about themselves and in turn they began to feel confident about themselves, this happens more often than you would think and is why we do what we do!

We are very excited about a few Food Drive events going on this Sunday if you are able to support them. The Gift of Giving back – Back-to-School Drive-Thru Food Drive, 5111 New St, Burlington (replacing the Appleby Line Street Festival this year) from 1-5pm.

And also The Fulfillment Method is running The Great Burlington Food Drive ( partnered up with some amazing and community-conscientious local based companies to provide you with Raffle Giveaways – also Sunday and Monday from 4-8pm at Metro Millcroft (2010 Appleby line) and at Sobeys Extra (1250 Brant St). Thanks Burlington for helping out the folks that need it.
