Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport donation drive for Daily Bread Food Bank
The donation drive raised $26,582.00 for Torontonians in need this holiday season
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is pleased to announce that its November donation drive for Daily Bread Food Bank has raised $26,582.00 for Torontonians in need this holiday season. The drive was offered to passengers and employees through physical and digital signage, along with tiptap stands placed throughout the terminal building to make donating as simple as tapping a debit or credit card.
The funds will be used to support vital food programs across the city through Daily Bread’s member network.
“I was among thirty employees from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport who had the opportunity to volunteer at the Daily Bread Food Bank facility this month as part of our donation drive and awareness campaign. We saw first-hand how this donation will help provide vital food supplies that reflect the diverse cultural needs in our region and are distributed through Daily Bread’s 129 member agencies throughout Toronto. Thank you to our passengers, employees, and partners who contributed to making a difference for families in need this holiday season.”
“YTZ connects people and businesses across distances, but we’re also making vital connections in our community. Over the past year, more than 150,000 new individuals started using food bank services for the first time, so the need is greater than ever. I’d like to thank all of our partners, passengers and employees who contributed to this very worthy cause.”
“We thank our partners at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport for raising much needed funds for the second year in a row. Their efforts will enable us to distribute over 25,000 meals to our neighbours in need this holiday season.”
