Hi Tracy,
What’s your favourite comfort food?
Mine is chicken soup. Actually, my grandmother’s chicken soup.
I can’t count the number of times over the years I burned my tongue on
the first spoonful — I simply couldn’t wait!
Like many Canadians — perhaps even you — I’m thinking about comfort
food. I’m thinking about gathering with my loved ones and celebrating the joy
of the holiday season. And food is always at the heart of it all.
Food is more than nourishment, it is comfort. We share food and stories
with our loved ones over meals during the holiday season. And you can share the
same comfort with men, women and children who are struggling in your community
and across Canada right now.
The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for families living
near, or below, the poverty line. Between needing to purchase warm clothing for
winter, heating the home and wanting to find a small gift for the kids, many
families are stretched to the limit.
Your gift to Food Banks Canada ensures we can support local food
banks across Canada so that men, women and children who
go to their neighbourhood food bank receive quality, safe food to feed their
families. And you help ensure that community meal programs offered by our
partner organizations have what they need to provide delicious holiday meals at
homeless shelters, women’s shelters, meal delivery programs for seniors and
more.
Please take a moment right now and make your special year-end gift to
Food Banks Canada. Your gift will go to work right away sharing food with your neighbours and fellow Canadians.
Thank you for giving comfort and joy,
Katharine Schmidt
Executive Director
P.S. GREAT NEWS! Your holiday gift to Food Banks Canada is being
matched up to a maximum of $25,000 by Quaker® Canada, Tostitos® Canada, and parent company PepsiCo Canada. Please give
