Ways to Give Back this Thanksgiving!

Posted By Cara Eaton, October 5, 2023
 

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect, be thankful, and support your community! Traditionally, the holiday has been about spending time with those who matter most, eating a delicious turkey dinner, and enjoying the beautiful fall colours before the fall breeze turns to a winter chill.

This Thanksgiving, start a new tradition and explore how you can spread that thankful feeling and spirit of giving back to your community. There are many ways you can get involved - and these opportunities are available all-year round. Explore the ways you can get involved this Thanksgiving - and beyond by supporting those in your community in a variety of ways.

  

Volunteer at a Food Bank
Volunteering at a food bank is a great way to support food accessibility for those who need it most in our communities across Toronto. Learn how you can support the food security organizations below as a volunteer:

- Daily Bread Food Bank
North York Harvest Food Bank
- Scarborough Rosewood Food Drive

 

Become a Volunteer Driver
A Volunteer Driver is someone who delivers meals to vulnerable populations such as seniors or low-income individuals and families. As a driver, you will receive a route, pick up individually packaged meals for recipients, and deliver to their homes to ensure that their daily meals are safely received and enjoyed.
