SCHC is proud to launch our annual "Food Fight" campaign for 2021! Introducing virtual fundraising and continuing physical food donations. Help us knock out food insecurity by donating NOW!
WHY? The summer is typically when our Food Bank donations decrease, however this year we have seen a rise in food insecurity across Scarborough. This is due to the challenges faced by many because of the COVID -19 pandemic; which is why your donations are so important and has a huge impact.
WHEN? TODAY until July 31st, 2021
