2017 Annual Holiday Food Drive – Nov. 20th – Dec. 22nd
We happy to parter again this year with the Burlington Food Bank! Every month, over 700 people receive food from the food bank. In 2016 they provided food to over 8,500 Burlington residents; 3,400 were under the age of sixteen. The food bank receives some food donations from national food retailers, however most come from individuals like you who donate.
In 2015 we raised 300 pounds of food for the Burlington Food Bank. This year we’re stepping things up. Our goal for 2016 is going to be:
600 POUNDS!!
To reach this goal, we need YOUR help! You can contribute two ways:
- Drop off donations at our office. For every 3 pounds that you donate, you will receive a ballot entry into our draw for our prize of Toronto Maple Leafs framed memorabilia! (Big thanks to Funding Innovations to donating this prize!). Winners will be announced Live from our Facebook page at 4pm Friday, December 22nd!
- Like any of our posts related to our food drive and Sunrise will donate an item for you! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up to date on our progress!
