Feed it Forward

I’m happy to spread the word about the #FeedItForward campaign.  Maple Leaf is giving 10,000 families across Canada $100 in free groceries, totalling nearly $100,000 in free groceries across our country!  Right now it’s an uncertain and challenging time for many individuals, families and not-for-profit organizations.  Being part of this campaign, I was able to donate a gift card to one of our local societies that supports close to 1000 community members monthly.  It’s one we frequent throughout the year.  Whether it’s a personal drop off with my kids after we’ve added extra groceries to our cart or part of a corporate donation.  It’s a nice feeling when we give back to a community that’s always been so good to us.   

So many Canadians volunteer and work to help people lead better lives.  Right now you can nominate an individual or organization in your community that goes above and beyond  by filling out the Feed it Forward Donation form.  They could receive a $10,000 donation towards their organization and enjoy free Maple Leaf groceries for a year.   Just by nominating, you could have the opportunity to receive free Maple Leaf groceries for a year too!

Nominate someone who has gone above-and-beyond to use good food to better the lives of others and is helping to feed your community.

The reality that 1 in 8 families and 1 in 6 children face hunger on a regular basis is inconceivable in a country with as much abundance as Canada. Let’s Feed it Forward to thank and recognize the people in our communities who have made a positive difference by feeding the potential of others.
