In recognition of #nationalvolunteermonth, #ArkaneAustin volunteered at the Central Texas Food Bank.
We combined our efforts with other local volunteers and packed 591 boxes of food - a total of 17,730 lbs. or 14,775 meals! It was an amazing experience that allowed us to give back to our community.
The Central Texas Food Bank is a wonderful organization that has been leading the community in the fight against hunger for over 40 years. We are looking forward to more opportunities to #giveback to our local community!

Just a few weeks ago, #ITGTransportation volunteered their time and effort to make a positive impact at Loaves & Fishes.

PlungeSmile OpenArms was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown to provide help to individuals and families who have meagre income or no primary source of sustenance.
This initiative has been providing #food security, #economic security, #family well-being, #household materials, and other basic #amenities to individuals and family units since its inception.
The aim is to mitigate #inflation and the persistent increase in the #cost of goods and services that affect low-income households and to equip them with #resources to be self-sufficient.
OpenArms focuses on impoverished and low-income #communities who barely earn enough income to be self-sufficient during the best of economic times, regardless of empowerment status.
It is a beacon of hope for those who are struggling to make ends meet in these challenging times.
Our #mission is to empower individuals and families to break the cycle of #poverty by providing more than just food. We aim to build a brighter #future for them.
This platform is open to #partnerships from #individuals and #organizations that desire to impact lives through donations to any PlungeSmile/#donor-identified or selected community.
Together, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive community for all. Visit www.plungesmile.org today to learn more about the initiative.

"I look forward to the days I get to visit with amazing people in my community," explains Tim who has volunteered as a delivery driver since 2020. "It is good for my soul."
Our Seniors & Good Food Boxes are a lifeline to many in our community. If you could spare a few hours a month to help with our deliveries, it would make all the difference. Contact Allie below for more information.
At No Hunger Food Bank our mission extends far beyond providing nourishment to those in need. We recognize that vulnerability takes many forms, which is why our outreach efforts cut across all segments of the community - from the elderly to the disabled, the homeless to the unemployed.
In these challenging times, when economic hardship and displacement have left so many struggling, every bit of support truly makes a difference. Whether it’s a donation of food items, a few hours of volunteer work, or simply sharing our message, each contribution helps us reach the most vulnerable members of society.
The disabled community, in particular, faces unique barriers to accessing essential resources. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring no one is left behind. With your help, we can continue providing nutritious meals, essential toiletries, and a compassionate ear to the underserved in our community.
Together, we can build a more equitable and resilient community, where no one has to worry about where their next meal will come from. Join us in our mission to support the most vulnerable, and help us create a brighter future for all.

Hello LinkedIn 👋
We’re the Community Share Food Bank (CSFB), serving the Don Mills community in Toronto for 20 years.
Community Share was founded in response to the growing issue of food insecurity in our community. The need was clear, and our initiative began with a simple yet profound mission: to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
20 years of alleviating hunger later, our commitment remains as the need grows.
CSFB usage has skyrocketed over the past few years, with a 130% increase since 2019. Change is long overdue. To mark our 20th year we will be joining calls for systemic changes that aim at the root causes of hunger:
🌱 Let’s talk the human right to food; food rescue initiatives; and urban gardening.
🤝 Let’s collaborate in advocating on employment for marginalized populations; updated, adequate social supports; and deeply affordable housing - among many other intersecting factors of poverty.
💬 We're eager to contribute to realizing human rights, including food, employment, housing, and health. We’re here to join a caring community and be part of the solutions, together.
Follow CSFB on LinkedIn for more fresh updates. Let’s connect and raise our voices! 📣

Tuesday November 28, 2023 is a day to focus on ways to contribute to our communities and improve lives of others.
HMSHost @ Toronto Pearson YYZ have an annual Warm Weather Drive in support of our Homeless Youth in Peel Region.
We donate coats, gloves, hats, blankets , sweaters, boots and socks to "Our Place Peel".
As our cold weather months approach and pressure on affordable housing and shelters our donations will make a difference.
A few years ago I rehired an associate who had faced homelessness and had lost his toes from frostbite- our goal is to help the youth and support them during challenging times.
Everyone Counts - a Community Report noted the following statistics. ( Peel)
27% of respondents indicated they first experienced homelessness as a youth.
6% of respondents indicated they first experienced homelessness as a child.
"Homelessness is often the result of what are known as systemic or societal barriers including a lack of affordable and appropriate housing. the individual/households financial, mental, cognitive, behavioural or physical challenges, and/or racism and discrimination".
It is with great honor and humility that I write we are committed to supporting communities all around the world. We are Change Makers !
