Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I am thrilled to see that Canadians across this great city continue to participate in the Spring H.O.P.E. (Housing Owners and People Everywhere) Food Drive which will take place on April 19th, 2017 .
It’s hard to believe that this initiative is now in its eighteenth year, and each year, it continues to grow. It means that residents and landlords have worked together to donate millions of dollars of food in the last decade to those that maybe lost a job or are just going through tough times. When you realize that over thirty percent of the recipients of the food we collect are children, it just warms my heart. Our children are the most important people in our lives and we must all continue to work together to ensure that they are healthy, happy and properly fed.
The purpose of this website is to share the good news, that we’re a city that cares. Be a volunteer, donate some non-perishable food, sign up your buildings, your offices, and your family to participate in the largest door-to-door food drive in Canada.
Spring H.O.P.E. started a dozen years ago because of an idea that came from one child. Whether you’re a child or a senior citizen, we all have the capacity to give. Give what you can. We appreciate your support.
So PARTICIPATE.....Together we can make a difference!
Sincerely,
Bonnie Hoy President,
