The current need at the London Food Bank has never been greater. In fact, we have seen a 32 percent increase in demand over the same time last year. We are now servicing approximately 4,000 families a month or 9,000 individuals, in addition to helping over 30 other social agencies and programs within our area.
That’s why the Business Cares Food Drive – the 23rd edition of which kicks off on Dec. 1, 2022, 10am at RBC Place in downtown London – remains an important way for the community to give back.
The Business Cares committee is all volunteer driven and includes a couple of dozen leaders representing a variety of sectors throughout our community. We strongly encourage you to consider participating with us by registering on the Business Cares Food Drive website (Register | Business Cares Food Drive) and then arranging your own food or monetary drive within your neighbourhood or business.
We will be pleased to pick up the bounty from your efforts either December 16, 19, or 20. For more information, please visit our website. We also encourage you to reach out to any of our committee members, myself, or email contact@businesscares.ca for more details.
On behalf of the committee, the London Food Bank, and – most importantly – its patrons, we thank you for your generosity and kindness this holiday season.
