Hi Friends!
This month we’re changing up our Grocery Run (GR) to help with the Mississauga Food Bank’s $25 for 25 campaign, in honour of their 25th anniversary!
- With a donation of $25, The Mississauga Food Bank can distribute $210.25 worth of donated food – that’s enough to feed a family of 5 for their once monthly visit that provides 7-10 days worth of food!
- With a financial donation of $250, The Mississauga Food Bank can distribute $2102.50 worth of donated food – that’s 841 pounds of food to breakfast programs that allows them to feed kids in need before they head off to school.
- With a financial donation of $2500, The Mississauga Food Bank can distribute $21,025 worth of donated food – that’s 8410 pounds of food to be supplied to one of our member agency food banks – enough to feed 336 people!
So instead of our usual GR this Saturday, we’re going to do a group donation instead, for their campaign.
If you are able to contribute to this month’s event – please let me know by this Sat. Feb 26th (tomorrow!). We’re encouraging everyone to donate at least $25 each, this month, in support of the food bank.
After I’ve collected everyone’s pledges, I will make one group donation.
love+prayers,
Cecilia
