MEDIA ADVISORY - Photo-Op: Volunteers sorting Holiday Drive food donations
TORONTO, Dec. 24 /CNW/ -
| WHAT: |
Holiday Drive Public Food Sort Hundreds of volunteers will be sorting through stacks of food donations instead of shopping mall sales next Monday and Tuesday. Families, community groups, youth groups and individuals have registered, some weeks in advance, to spend their last days of vacation helping get the food out to Torontonians who need it most. We are very close to our Holiday Drive goals of $1 million and 1 million pounds of food but we're not there quite yet. With your help, we can reach those goals by January 3rd. Note: Daily Bread is fully booked for public sorting. No volunteers are required. Daily Bread Food Bank will be closed on December 25th and 26th. |
