The New Year is just a few days away.
Food4Life sums up what they have managed to get done before they say goodbye to 2023.
Food4Life Executive Director. Karen Randell
The appointment of a new Executive Director. Karen Randell, who was interim CAO at Hamilton Share before replacing Graham Hill. She is a graduate of George Brown College who sums up what she has learned in her first six weeks at Food4Life is the talented team they have and the number of volunteers working with them. “We have a different group in here every day” she said.
The Food4Life mission is to rescue as much food as possible from being wasted. They have equipment on site that converts food that cannot be eaten that converts it to high grade compost.
Ensuring access to healthy, fresh food to neighbours across Hamilton and Halton they have
- Supported 4,000+ households each week through Food for Life programs and agency partners helping many of our neighbours feel more food secure and live with reduced stress.
- Prioritized the well-being of people and the planet by ensuring that quality GOOD food is rescued and redirected to people, diverting 7 million kgs of greenhouse gas to protect the planet.
- Collaborated for deeper impact alongside community and agency partners to align resources, strengthen partnerships, and ensure neighbours are well supported with the resources they need to better their lives.
These are just three of the many impacts you helped make possible in 2023.
All this happens because people support Good for Life financially. Every $10 donated allow them to rescue and share $62 worth of good food and groceries
Plus, The Sprott Foundation will match all donations made by December 31, 2023 up to $100,000. That means you will have 2X the impact!
