Food is a basic requirement of life. The impact of this partnership with Second Harvest has been that we've been able to serve really high quality food on a large scale. For us, serving 1,500 meals a day would become extremely expensive as an organization to keep the caliber of food that we have. And the contribution allows the staff to get creative and make new meals.

Seeing the relief and gratitude on people's faces as they receive fresh produce and prepared meals reminds us why partnerships like ours are so vital. Your commitment to fighting food insecurity in our community does not go unnoticed. Thank you for standing with us and for making such a significant difference in the lives of our neighbours.
