BURLINGTON, ON

Karen Randell, Executive of Food for Life, an organization that has been serving the Region for 30 years, brought to our attention that a Statistics Canada report said grocery price inflation continues to rise at a faster pace than last year, further challenging our neighbours to nourish themselves and their families.

In a season of plenty, it’s difficult to see so many of our neighbours doing their best to get by, while facing the rising costs that make it harder to keep up and make ends meet.

Food for Life is able to reach 4,500 households weekly through over 90 food access points.

To make an even greater impact, please consider becoming a monthly donor.

This method of giving uses smaller, regular gifts to spread your support over the year, while offering stability that makes an extraordinary difference for our neighbours. Monthly giving provides reliable support that helps us plan ahead to meet emerging needs.

All monthly gifts will be matched until year-end — helping even more individuals, families and seniors access nutritious food.

If you have recently made a gift, please accept our heartfelt thanks. If you have not had a chance to do so, please continue your generous support now. Your gift will help ensure more neighbours can access the nutritious food they need.
