Toonies for Tummies
In 2020 the Toonies for Tummies campaign of the Grocery Foundation raised $35,100 in grocery cards for Food & Friends programs! Did you know that you can donate a toonie at your participating Longo’s, Metro, Food Basics, Sobey’s and/or Foodland grocery store and help fill a hungry tummy in our community? 100% of your donation will benefit the growing number of hungry children and youth. It’s never been more vital. Before Covid-19, many Canadian children (1 in 5) were at risk of food insecurity, and trying to learn while hungry. A growing number, some estimate twice as many, may be at risk.
