Publisher’s comment - Help your neighbors access food and hope this holiday season
Emery Village, Toronto - The holiday season is a time of warmth, joy, and generosity. Yet, for many families in our community, it’s a period marked by challenges and uncertainty. This year, as we celebrate the spirit of giving, let’s remember those among us who are less fortunate. The Emery Village Voice urges everyone to support local food banks, which are vital in providing assistance and hope to those in need.
The Plight of Many: A Closer Look at the Need
Every month, over 30,000 individuals rely on the North York Harvest Food Bank.
Last year, our network witnessed 3,500 new families seeking help.
Alarmingly, one out of every three people benefiting from these services is a child.
These statistics are not just numbers; they represent our community’s neighbors, friends, and children. The need for support is real and immediate.
How You Can Make a Difference? Your contribution can make a significant impact, no matter how big or small. Here are the local food banks where your generosity can help light up someone’s holiday season:
Remember, your gift today isn’t just about providing food; it’s about offering hope and showing that our community stands together. Let’s join hands this holiday season to ensure that every member of our community feels the warmth and care they deserve.
The Emery Village Voice is proud to be part of this compassionate community. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s end the year on a note of kindness and generosity.
